Yes : If you have an attack that often i suggest speaking to a general surgeon for evaluation of your options to avoid cholecystitis.

Yes: If pain persists for more than 2 to 4 hrs, along with nausea and fever, it could b acute cholesystitis and requires emergent surgery. U should see a surgeon now to set up surgery electively or at least get to know them if it becomes an emergency.

Cholecystectomy : If you have gallstones and abdominal pain, then i recommend you seek consultation with a surgeon for evaluation for cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder).
