Hi,
It is unlikely that the surgery should lead to any such effects.
What kind of anesthesia was given to you? and what type of surgery did you undergo?
They might have put you on some medication after the surgery which could have this effect. Other than that or the effects of anesthesia there should not be any reason for the same.
I suggest you discuss it with your GP who could get some answers as he would have the details of the entire procedure.
All the best and do let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
