Suggest Treatment For Seizure

I was straining to have a bowel movement which caused me to go into a seizure where my right arm and hand was flailing about and I had no control of my arm/ hand and I felt like things were fading away. Should I get checked out? Never had a seizure before this. FYI this past June I had a sleeve bariatric surgery.

I think you should get checked out. What you describe looks to fit the description of a partial motor seizure and probably brain imaging could be necessary to exclude brain lesions at its origin. An EEG should be done as well, but a normal non ictal (seizure) EEG doesn't necessarily exclude anything.
