Apparently his appendix could no longer keep up with this Kardashian.

Rob Kardashian underwent an emergency appendectomy Tuesday at a Los Angeles-area hospital.

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

The 24-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians scion—and baby bro to Kourtney, Kim and Khloé—had complained to his family about stomachaches, but the pain became so intense that Kris took him to the emergency room, where doctors decided his appendix had to go.

"Thank god they got it before it burst! He will be fine and these days its arthroscopic! Never a dull moment around here!" says Kris.

After the operation, Rob took to Twitter to reveal he's doing much better.

"This is what happens if you don't eat your Wheaties," he tweeted late last night along with a pic of him in his hospital bed.

Get well soon.
