Dear ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. This problem is probably not related to the surgery but might be due to the medicines which you might be getting after surgery. What medications are you currently on?
You should discuss this with your doctor and conside a change in your medicines if this problem persists.

Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
