HELP Please answer

I was givem MS Contin which is a time released morphine, my pharmacists said it is not good for gastric bypass patients???? The vicodin is no longer working? Why can't we take time release? My doctor wants to try oxycontin for me instead of the morphine because the morphine made me very sick. I am NOT an addict, I have a shattered disc, they cannot operate and I have degenerative disc disease, plus siatica and I am in pain everyday. Why no time release? I tried norco and that worked sometimes, but i needed to take it every 4 hours. Please help....... why can't we take time release? Or can we? Is oxycontin safe? Does it work better or worse if we cut the pill in half? anyone know?
