Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
Fluid can indicate some serious conditions such as abbscess or biloma,but also in many cases this is just sign of cholecystectomy and isnt indication for surgical procedure. It can also be percutaneously drained in some institutions. but only after this is a reason for your difficulties. Also, laparoscopy may reveal gallbladder bed pathology too. So consult your surgeon about further treatment options.
Wish you good health. Regards
