Thanks for all this info every one. I am currently on Suboxone which is an opiate blocker. Any opiate I would take if I tried would not even work. However the Suboxone does kind of work as a pain med, and I usually don't take a lot anyways so maybe that would help. I'm scared of the surgery in general I wouldn't want to risk getting addicted to pain meds again, it almost ruined my life the first time. I will discuss all this with all the medical staff where I go as well.

Thanks everyone for all of your input, this site it great.

Hey everyone, I enjoy reading in this forum. I don't have a date for my surgery yet, still going through the steps needed to get to that part, so in the mean time I'm doing lots of research. My question is, I used to be an opiate addict and I was able to stay clean for 5 years now, however I am on an opiate blocker that helps me stay clean each day. I heard some of you talking about having pain meds for after the operation. I was curious as to how bad the pain is because I have a low pain tolerance and the meds I'm on help with pain a little too, but also block any opiate from working which I wouldn't every wanna take either way. So was wondering if I'd be ok Just taking Tylenol, or is the pain bad. I'm gonna have to push through it. I need and want to continue this journey very badly. Thanks
