There are some less invasive treatments available other than surgery. Medications to help shrink the size of the gall bladder are available but do not always give significant relief to the patient.

If there are no gallstones it may not be necessary to remove it. You might ask your doctor for furter tests. First, ask for a 24 hour ph study to make sure you don't have GERD or gastroparesis. A gastric emptying scan could also show other issues. These tets would be recommended anyway before surgery.
