[Stones] HEALTH: Buckley update: new diet

Buckley had been having trouble with a bladder stone.  I switched from pellet food (and unlimited Timothy hay and some veggies) to just unlimited timothy hay and low calcium low oxylate veggies.  I switched her diet almost a month ago.  Since then she hasn't had any pain...  After consulting the food list on the website here's what I'm feeding:
unlimited timothy hay
brussel sprouts
red cabbage
broccoli (small amounts)
red bell pepper
occasionally corn, radish, apple, oats (non-enriched), cereal (with appropriately low calcium content)

2 questions for you more experienced pig owners:
Is this a good diet?  Should I change something about this diet to make sure she gets proper nutrition?

Should I still consider surgery to have the bladder stone removed even though it's not causing her pain?  The stone was about the size of a plastic pin head.

Thanks for your advice!
    -Elizabeth
