L5 S1 fusion surgery

I'm a relatively you man. Just turned 42. I have my surgery scheduled for next Tuesday. They will be going through my back and my stomach. I just curious if anyone has been able to recover from this surgery without oral narcs at home. I know the chances are super low but I was just curious. I'm staying optimistic. I've tried everything from Western and eastern medicine to get to this point. Old injury from Iraq and just years of reinjury got me here. I'm optimistic for a positive outcome. My surgeons are very good it seems. Just nervous I guess.
