Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You should get evaluation for :
1. Chronic Cholecystitis
2. Chronic Pancreatitis
3. Malabsorption syndrome.
4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease
If your symptoms are proved due to only cholelithiasis (Gall stones) , removal of gall bladder is indicated.
Get following :

2. LFT
3. Serum Amylase and Lipase
