Yes , behavioral changes after surgery are quite normal.
He was in the hospital for a ling period of 12 days which disrupts our normal routine. Its quite possible that maybe he has just been feeling very drowsy and sleepy because of the medicines. Before stating assumptions, also consider that maybe his family is not letting him exert himself.
Give him some time to adapt to his regime before the surgery. If the behavior still doesn't change, then talk to him politely about it to avoid misunderstandings.
