Talk to your doctor and the hospital anesthesiologist about this problem.

I plan to be completely honest, but I am worried that there will be something that prevents them from prescribing the amount I actually need. I have read about hospitals having maximum limits, but the surgeon was not aware, and the anesthesiologist ended up prescribing only 2-3 times the normal dose. In my case, 2-3 times is nowhere near enough; my tolerance is 15 to 20 times the normal person's, for most painkillers. This is really worrying me :/
