Be seen: You might have pulled out your stitches, or have twisted your bowels. Severe pain, nausea, and dizziness should prompt another evaluation.

Be checked. : You may have just done too much but to be safe you should see your surgeon and get checked. There is always the possibility of a leak from the appendix stump, abscess formation, post-op ileus, or other complications, so be safe and get checked.
