Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in pain level
Time Frame: Time of discharge (approximately 1 day), day 1 post-op, day 3 post-op, day 7 post-op, and day 14 post-op

The VAS line will be 100 mm long with each end marked with "no pain" on the left, and "worst possible pain" on the right; participant identify their pain level by indicating a point on the line between each end and this point is measured from the "No pain" end, and the number of millimeters is reported as the pain score.
Secondary Outcomes
- Length of stay(Approximately 1 day)
- Change in quality of life(Time of discharge (approximately 1 day), day 1 post-op, day 3 post-op, day 7 post-op, and day 14 post-op)
