NO if you take care: Wait for the final report by radiologist , if there is any inflammation , fluid collection around gall bladder , then you have an acute gall bladder attack , most of the time will subside with medical treatment could be observed with out surgery .If you get repeat attacks then you need gall bladder removal.
