Is it normal for a doctor to only prescribe Gabapentin and Celebrex for pain after a breast lift and augmentation revision?

Kayandy
Today I went to my 2 week pre op and found out that my doctor doesn't prescribe narcotics unless that combo doesn't work, the celebrex and Gabapentin... . I'm unsure about it and need more opinions about that combo because I am scared to death that I'm going to be in pain after surgery. The only anesthesia he uses threw the surgery is need to put you asleep.
