Pains meds and Gastric Bypass Patients

I had Gastric Bypass 12/18/14.

I have a question about pain meds. I had Total Knee Replacement in June, Thumb CMC Arthroplasty with Tendon Transfer in July, yesterday Gallbladder surgery and on Wednesday I will be have the same hand surgery but on my right hand.

I am having a terrible time with pain meds. Most of them are not working for me. Could my Gastric Bypass be the cause? The meds either do not work or wear off very quickly.
