Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Fatigue is a general symptom seen due to low energy levels or hindered usage of energy levels.Both can happen in post operative period and are transient.Post operative period is considered a stress period with lot many chemical mediators (released during illness and during surgery) in the blood getting cleared over time.
The duration of such fatigue may depend on the underlying condition or the type of surgery undergone.In you, I would consider a 4 to 6 week duration would be normal.Fatigue more than 6 week has to be brought to the notice of the treating doctor or the surgeon who can asses and find out the exact cause.
Please do accept my answer if satisfying, with a review.
Wish you good health.
