Many!: First, you will have the pleasure of knowing that you are free forever of the horrible compulsion to take narcotics. You will probably have fewer problems with constipation. If you need surgery or develop any problem that requires pain medication, your body will respond more normally and you won't require excessive pain medication. Congratulations on a great decision! all best wishes.
