HI F-Guy, I am also having sergury on june 4th,i am on methadone at present for pain control,also i have percocets.I dont abuse the perks because they dont provide any form of a eurphoric affect.The methadone blocks the eurphoria.In your case i dont think using as prescribed,for a week or so is detrimental.john
There are other options for pain control some can be ok and others dangerous.
Here is some links that might help.

Good Luck and God Bless
congratualtions on 5 months. that is awesome. best of luck with your surgery!
My sub dr. spoke to me about this very thing. He said if i had to have surgery or broke a bone (Lord forbid) i would have to take narcotic pain meds, but only for a short time.
He said my hubby could give them to me as prescribed and for a few days use, it would not be a problem. Hope all goes well for you. You are doing great, 5 mos. woohoo TJ
