Gallbladders are not usually fixed but are usually removed instead. One of the most common problems with the gallbladder is the formation of gallstones and once that happens, it is likely to happen again. Gallstones can cause a significant amount of pain and can pose an infection risk if left untreated which is why general surgeons will typically remove them with a surgery known as a cholecystectomy. If you want to see what a cholecystectomy looks like (I urge those without a strong stomach not to do this) you can YouTube surgical videos showing how the gallbladder is removed from a patient. It's a very commonly done procedure.

Are gastroenterologists surgeons?
They are trained to do procedures on the intestines via the mouth or rectum with a camera. They do not make incisions to take out your gallbladder for instance. They would do one procedure to see that the gallbladder was the problem, and they can sometimes fix that problem using special tools via a tube in your mouth, but a surgeon would be the one to actually remove your gallbladder. They are trained like a regular medical physician/internist and then have one additional year (usually) of extra training in the procedures. Surgeons have usually 5-7 years of training (or more sometimes) specifically in the procedures that they do.
