The need for surgery depends on multiple factors (need USG report and symptom details). Please consult with above.
Gallbladder may be distended for many reasons, most common is physiological after fasting for 4-6 hours, so doesn't indicate anything serious standalone.

Need more details. Are you a diabetic? Any pain abdomen ? Nausea/vomiting?? Gallbladder is like a balloon it being distended means it is full of bile. It is usually distended after a bit of fasting. Just distended nothing to be worried about. But with gall stones, I need more deltas like I mentioned earlier to comment about need for surgery.
