Gallstones - Have gallbladder removed???

Hi There...Here is my question, I am 10.5 months post op and have had 4 or 5 what I am now sure were gallbladder attacks. The last one being pretty severe. I had a sonogram this am and of course the tech wouldn't give me specifics but had the radiologist look at my results and told me 'yes we see some stones'. Now mind you that could be two or two hundred. In anycase, regardless of the amount of stones should I have it out? I certainly do not want to go thru that pain again, but does the number of stones matter? If there are fewer does it lessen the chances of having another attack? Any info you can give would be great. Thanks everyone :)
