Pre-Surgery Survey
Participants will be asked to complete a survey 3 times (before surgery, after surgery, and 2 weeks after surgery). You will be monitored for up to 1 month after your surgery, where you may be contacted by a study provider virtually or in person to ask you about medication usage and heath care needs.
Post-Surgery Surveys
After surgery, Participants will complete the same survey as in the pre-surgery visit about 1 day and then 2 weeks after surgery. These surveys will be completed electronically through the MyChart system. They will take about 5-10 minutes to complete and must be done within 24 hours after receiving the survey. Participants will be monitored for 1 month after your surgery, including your standard-of-care postoperative visit at about 2 weeks. You may be contacted by a provider for a phone or in person visit at the 1-month time point to ask how you are doing.
