Device: Entac Medical device application Other: Patient Daily Assessment Other: Patient Discharge Assessment Entac Medical device application: Subjects will wear a 3-inch by 3-inch stethoscope device that adheres to the skin of the abdomen via FDA approved adhesive material. It will be applied either in the operating room at the completion of surgery or in the recovery room. The device will remain on the abdomen until discharge or for 10 days, whichever comes first. Patient Daily Assessment: The research team will ask questions of the subject regarding nausea, vomiting, passage of flatus, return of bowel function, and satisfaction with the device every day that the subject is hospitalized. Patient Discharge Assessment: The research team will ask questions of the subject regarding satisfaction or dissatisfaction with having the device placed and attached to their abdomen.
