My dad had his out a long long time ago -- like almost 30 years. If you don't want the attacks you should really watch what you eat -- for the last several months leading up to his surgery he ate only real low fat foods and meats and didn't have a single attack.
Heard those attacks are brutal though. He had heart surgery 5 years ago and rated the pain of his gallstone attacks as worse than the pain from recovering from heart surgery.
