How much is too much pain medicine????

THIS QUESTION IS FOR MY FRIEND WHO RECENTLY HAD OPEN RNY. I HAD MINE 4 MONTHS AGO AND DIDN'T REALLY NEED TO MUCH PAIN MEDS AFTER. SHE, ON THE OTHER HAND, SEEMS TO NEED OR WANT MUCH MORE. SHE IS TAKING 2 PERC AT A TIME AND SOMETIMES TAKING A 3RD 2 HOURS OR SO LATER. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M CONCERNED ABOUT JUST THE AMOUNT OR WHETHER OUR STOMACHS CAN HANDLE THAT AMOUNT POST-OP. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE COMMENT ON BOTH!! THANKS, A CONCERNED FRIEND
