Gall Stones

A quick question on gall stones.

Yes I'm getting old and have just been diagnosed as having a gall stone. Now I know that people can have them all their life without knowing but after a nasty colic attack, one passed through into the bladder itself. The Doc's advise me to have the whole thing removed and not just the stone:

1. How would that affect my class 1 med?
2. Do I risk leaving them in and getting another colic although it only happens at night strangely enough?
3. Should I just get the stone removed and run the (apparently high) risk of getting another one?
4. Anyone had it done and still flying???

Ta for any info

Rick
