The gecko will refuse to eat, maybe sit in a corner much like it has to go to the bathroom, even lift it's tail frequently, but nothing will happen. Their stomachs will become bloated, and most often their stomach feels like there's a rock in it.

I'll second the Vet trip. There may also be a visible dark or blackish , blueish arae on the stomach if it is a severe impaction
