Last night I had a lot of uncomfortable pain in my gut and it got worse in the morning. After a visit to the grocery store, I just couldn't take it anymore.
I was hoping it was a mere muscle pull but they ran tests and I'm getting my appendix removed tonight! Luckily its routine surgery for the hospital but I'm very nervous about it, plus I'll be out of work for a few weeks.

I remember having what I thought was just bad gas until I tried driving to work and was in pain. Made it three hours of work and everyone commented how pale I looked, saw the doctor, went to the hospital for additional labs, next thing I knew I was in emergency being prepped. Came THAT close to having it rupture. Was out on FMLA two weeks. But no scar, so, yay?

Had mine almost burst on me in High school. One day started having massive pain in my groin.
Went to see a doc,told it was nothing but if the pain kept up come back the next day.
Didn't sleep that night cause of the pain. Went to see the doc and was sent straight to the ER.
3 days after I had it removed had to go to a great friend's funeral. And was back at school in 3 days. Not sure why they made me come too school,the pain meds I was on meant I crashed out in 1st period and didn't wake up until time for lunch.

They took me into the operating room and I don't remember a thing after they put the mask on me.
I'm sore from the incision and breathing tube but I'm not in excruciating pain anymore. Heh heh

Heh heh Good to hear. Got mine taken out the week before finals my freshman year of college after an agonizing night waiting for the campus health center to open. Night in the hospital stoned out of my mind on painkillers, then a week at home on the couch. Worst part of the surgery and aftercare was not being able to take a dump for like, five days due to the painkillers.

Had mine done so long ago That I got a huge scar and they used 10 staples to close it shut. Was told "Do not strain to shit." So for close to a week I couldn't shit. But hey was allowed to goto high school wacked out on pain killers.

Got additional test results today based on the biopsy reports, they said it was a rare case of appendicitis with "periappenndicitis", meaning it got inflamed without a layer of mucus surrounding it. Had it ruptured, it would have definitely been fatal.
