Thought it was just bad gas!

 So I woke Tuesday night with what I thought was bad gas, I took some Gas X and tried to go back to sleep. No such luck! The pains were getting worse. I thought maybe I had a blockage and that scared me so I drove myself to the ER. Turns out that my appendix had ruptured and that I needed emergency surgery! My Dr who did my sleeve surgery four months ago also did my appendix surgery! Love him!  My stomach now looks like a pin cushion with three more additional incisions. 
Has anyone had their appendix out after WLS? My Dr said that it had nothing to do with my weight loss.

OMG!!! Bless your heart! You are lucky it wasnt worse. Appendix rupture is very dangerous. Glad you got it all took care of now! I still have my appendix. Hope it didnt have anything to do with VSG.

I've never heard of appendicitis as something that occurs post wls, and I'm inclined to agree with your dr that it has nothing to do with wls or loss in general.

Glad you made it in when you did though... that could have been a lot worse!

Feel better!

Wow!!! Glad u went to the er... Wish u a speedy reovery

 Wishing you a speedy recovery girl!  Glad you got the to ER and was able to get help!

Speedy recovery for you!

OMG..that is so scary.  I am glad you are on the mend.  Sending you good thoughts and healing hugs.

 OMG glad you went to the ER, could have been worse. Get well soon. 

WOW!! Glad you are ok!! I have a pin cushion belly too after a hysterectomy and 2 wls!! They fade over time!!

 Thank you so much for all your kind well wishes! I am at home recovering. I am seeing my Dr. on Monday. I went on the scale today, bad idea! I gained 5 lbs. from all the IV fluid! I know that I will lose it, but still it hurt to see the scale go up!
