I admit to having fairly-seriously "blown" a profile before (bad ascent caused by a combination of factors) and paid VERY careful attention to my body afterward for the next day - remaining prepared to grab the emergency O2 kit and head for the nearest chamber if I experienced anything that even SMELLED like DCS.
Oddly enough, my computer didn't complain about it, other than being upset about the ascent rate during the dive, and hitting me with an "extend surface interval" warning (which I heeded.) I DID do a second dive that day after close to two hours, as I was feeling perfectly fine, and on that second dive I did an EXTREMELY slow ascent - 1 minute at the first ATM on the way up, 2 on the second, 10 at 15', and then 2fpm from there to the surface.
My theory on this was that given that I had not (yet) accumulated symptoms, if I was going to go back in the water I had to be VERY sure to decompress on the second dive EXTREMELY slowly, so as to insure that any excess nitrogen was able to come out of solution the "right way" (through my lungs), since there was an enhanced risk that I had latent trouble brewing.
No problems.
Thankfully.
I tend to be much less observant though if I know that I did everything "textbook"; I think we all do, which is potentially where we can get in trouble - its the "undeserved" hits that can be ugly, as people tend to dismiss the first little signs - which is, of course, the wrong thing to do!
