Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Female/57 - large abdominal surgery tomorrow - been on Methadone 120 mg for years - you will be put on hydrocodone post op - wants to know what is going to help your post-op pain besides staying on methadone...

The foremost important thing is the way one reacts to pain in the post-op period as you are already under methadone and will be still actively helping you for the pain for few more days as it stays for a long time in the body. Hence it is possible that the same medicine may help you to go through the post-op period. Your Surgeon will be putting you on hydrocodone and will have added beneficial effects, the dosages will need titration as per the pain you will feel. Who knows you may not need additional dosages.

So do not worry, you will be admitted and under observation and will be taken care of for the pain nicely.
Wishing you all the best for successful surgery.

Stop worrying as you should be calm and quiet and relaxed today for a better tomorrow.

I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
