There was more than the usual drama for the Kardashian clan on Tuesday, when Rob Kardashian was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. The 24-year-old reality star underwent an emergency appendectomy at a Los Angeles hospital, after complaining of a stomachache.

The pains became so bad that Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, felt it was time to get it checked out.

"He was rushed to West Hills Hospital last night for emergency appendix surgery," Jenner told E! News. "I'm going back there now. He will be fine!"

"Thank god they got it before it burst!" she continued. "He will be fine and these days it's arthroscopic! Never a dull moment around here!" 

Kardashian was actually well enough to hop on his Twitter account after the operation and post a photo from his hospital bed. 

"This is what happens if you don't eat your Wheaties," he twittered. 

Feel better soon, Rob!
