the site needs a disclaimer "think you have a deadly illness? get off the computer and go to the hospital"
If you have Appendicitis, then you have literally a few hours between the sudden jump from simply surgery to all out extended hospitalization and probable death,
Appendicitis means your appendix is inflamed, and will rupture. ONCE this happens, its like taking a poison acid shit into your blood. thats why they take the thing out.
that said, Its probably something else, but you aren't a doctor, you should see one.

I got appendicitis in Hawaii, luckily at the very end of a vacation. I knew there was a problem when I got to the top of Haleakula and my suspected gas pains got worse with the altitude. No biggie, had laproscopic surgery and was out in two days. Man the nurses were all hotter than hell! Native girls, mmmm.
Then I flew home and started feeling ill . . . went back to doc and my white cell count was off the charts. I went into a mainland hospital with peritonitis, and stayed there ten days. I had to wear a bag attached to a tube in my belly for another week or so after leaving. I was out of work for six weeks and for a while I though I might die.
it sucked.

Geez, how stupid can people be? If you even remotely think that you have Appendicitis then get to the damn hospital. It's easy enough to cure and much better than dying.

So no one knows the symptoms? I swear i thought i did at one point. My left side hurt alot, felt like my insides were melting. I have really bad acid reflux and heartburn tho, so i waited it out and drank some green tea. I feel better today, but i think i have the flu, i feel like crap. I called a buddy who had it. He said he was doubled over in pain, and you would know there was somthing MAJOR wrong. It isn't like a tummy ache, you will feel like death.

yeah its a pain in your lower right side, like the worse gas you have ever had, and it dosent go away.
i had mine removed.
if you think you have it, go to the fucking hospital.
if you have appendicitis and your appendix bursts, youll have to be in the hospital for well over 3 weeks, and it could kill you. but usually if you go in time they can remove it before it blows.

If you are older than 30 then you are a lot less likely to get it.

First of all, calm down and don't let us or yourself rile you up. Assess which part is symptom and which part is worry/anxiety driven. Then do what is best.

Absolutely, right on 
Most people who get an appendicitis rupturing on them won't be posting on the Shroomery and patiently waiting on replies though, they'd be curled up to a ball on the floor moaning at the 911 operator. If an appendicitis ruptures it can be painful beyond belief.
That doesn't mean theres nothing wrong with you. Medical issues should be presented to a doctor. If you think you have something not acutely dangerous call a doctor, if you think it is an acute problem but stable let a friend or neighbor rush you to the hospital's Accidents & Emergencies (this can be quicker than an ambulance in some cases) and if something is flat out wrong (like crushing central chest pain radiating to your left arm during for instance a cocaine or meth binge) call 911 without hesitation.
If the shit hits the fan, don't procrastinate. A major cause of death is people hesitating to get medical help while hoping it will blow over.
Ambulances and hospitals are a service like a plumber. Use it when you need it. And Americans, please get health insurance, because at one time or another you will end up in the hospital.
The average adult has a minor or major surgery once every ten years or so. This was quite an eye opener to me when I read that.
