It may, if your doctor is unaware of your opiate tolerance they may give you a dosage strength for somebody without an opiate tolerance.
Your best bet is to let your doctor/surgeon know you have an opiate tolerance before your operation.
Most (but not all) doctors won't ask why you have a tolerance to opiates, their primary objective is to make sure your pain is treated...or at least it should be.

Talk with your doctor before going into surgery and tell him your tolerance to opiates. They won't ask why, they just want to be aware so they can keep you as comfortable as possible during surgery.
