This study is interested in understanding what happens to people's health habits after they undergo major surgery. Researchers want to learn whether having surgery encourages people to eat better, exercise more, or quit smoking โ and whether these positive changes help reduce their risk of developing heart disease later in life. The study will follow participants for a period of time to track these lifestyle changes and their effects.
Many patients are motivated to improve their health after a major surgery, but doctors don't fully understand which lifestyle changes actually happen, how long they last, or how much they help prevent future heart disease. This study aims to fill that gap by learning more about how surgery can be a turning point for better health.

As a participant, you would be followed over time after your surgery to track changes in your diet, exercise habits, smoking status, and other lifestyle factors. You would likely complete surveys or check-ins at various time points to share information about your health behaviors and any improvements you've made. The study aims to understand whether and how these positive changes influence your long-term heart health.
