the only person who could answer this question for you is a pharmacist. Contact your local pharmacist and ask the same question. I'm sure they will give you a satisfactory answer.

First of all you never take more or less than what the doctor prescribes for you. If he ordered Tramadol for you that's because two weeks after surgery you shouldn't still need a narcotic and Tramadol may be somewhat weaker of a drug but it still will be effective. I was prescribed Tramadol and took only 2 the first day. I didn't like the way it made me feel. I refuse narcotics and the doctors call me stubborn. I would rather be in pain than take them....all they do is make me sleep. What kind of life is that? You didn't say what kind of surgery but your doctor is just trying to ween you off the Vicodin. Good luck!

I don't mean to be unhelpful, but this is a question best answered by your pain management specialist or your pharmacist.
Oxycodone is also compounded with acetaminophen, which is easier on the stomach.
Good luck in finding and managing adequate pain relief.
