Summary

The study will seek to determine if surgical patients do better or the same if participants undergo pre-operative counseling for elective laparoscopic same day surgery. The study hypothesizes that patients who receive a pre-operative education booklet and a phone call from a surgical registered nurse, compared to the current standard of care, will have higher satisfaction with regard to participants' surgical experience, decrease in the number of post-operative phone calls, decrease in the number of opioid medications, and decrease in the number of emergency department visits. The importance of this study is to understand what surgical clinical practices can do in the pre-operative setting to enhance a surgical patient's recovery.
