Does anyone know if taking lots of pain killers for years before surgery will affect

I have had to take a lot of pain killers due to previous surgery and chronic back pain. As we know most contain codeine and that can cause severe constipation. I am terrified that I will go to the pre-admit. clinic and I will be told I can't have surgery due to problems from the pain killers. Please advise if anyone has any insight into this. Thanks
