I’m on methadone and worried about controlling the pain after surgery, what can be done?

sammieee1008
I would like to opt IN for having taking pain medication but i’m unsure if they will allow it. I would like to skip my methadone dose for the first day or two of surgery to make sure my pain is kept under control. I see women who are in unbelievable pain afterwards. I know many people who are in recovery and still get pain assisted meds for after surgery. This scares me that they will avoid giving me pain medication in the IV w/ anesthesia. What’s the protocol for this? Is it my decision?
