Brief Summary

By conducting this study, we hope to assess if simethicone (also known as Gas Relief or GasX) has an effect on improving gas pain and bloating specifically in patients undergoing foregut procedures to include bariatric procedures (sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass), hiatal hernia, and gastric surgery. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of simethicone. Simethicone (more commonly known as Gas Relief or Gas-X) relieves pressure, bloating, and fullness commonly referred to as gas. It is FDA approved. The use of this medication in this research study is consistent with labeling indications.
