I had mine removed in an emergency surgery when I was 23; but my surgeon said if I had still one, he'd take it out! He said he never leaves one behind.
I know nothing about kidney stones (and I have no desire to learn!) but I can tell you that gall bladder attacks are intense. There were times I had the most insane abdominal pain that was indescribable, which made emergency room doctors treat me like I was a pill seeking addict. I didn't have insurance back then, so they didn't bother testing me for anything other than pregnancy. One night, I felt like I was having a heart attack. I went to ER, and they finally put all the pieces to the puzzle together.
Anyways, if you're practically guaranteed to have issues later, I would avoid that pain and the second surgery in a heartbeat! Just my opinion!
