Official Title: Pilot Study of a Consumer-Based Activity Monitor (Fitbit Zip) in Evaluating Perioperative Activity of Older Adults Undergoing Major Oncologic Surgery

Brief Summary: This pilot clinical trial studies how well consumer-based activity monitor works in evaluating and measuring activity of older patients with abdominal cancer undergoing surgery. Consumer-based activity monitor (CAM) may identify patients who are at-risk for increased post-surgery medical problems. With early identification of at-risk patients, CAM provide supervised exercise in the preoperative and postoperative periods to improve over mobility and potentially decrease preoperative complications among patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
