My mom is 65 with multiple 9mm gallstones but her appetite is fine. She has occasional gas and mild pain, nothing severe. The doctor recommended surgery but mentioned it's high risk because of her severe sleep apnea. Can we just continue Udiliv for 2 years to dissolve the stones or is surgery really necessary?

Surgery is generally recommended for gallstones if the patient has symptoms. However, given your mom’s sleep apnea, non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid (Udiliv) may help in the short term, though the stones are unlikely to fully dissolve. Consider discussing surgery timing based on her condition.

I have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?

Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.
