You must call the surgeon's office and ask if it's normal. There's nobody on here capable of taking your very prized hand in their "hands" to answer that question. Here's some sites about your surgery, but call your specialist immediately.
Great advice on this very complete site:

I was numb and at first I thought the sugery didn't work. I had a second surgery for scar tissue removal after the cyst was removed. Took about a year to feel normal again.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Call the office of the doctor who did the surgery. Call right away. It might be normal or it might be serious, but you need to find out for sure.

I think you should ask the doctor, but I think it is probably OK because you might have some nerve irritation from the surgery and will go away.

There is still no "fix" for the nerves other than chiropractic or other alternative medicine. The problem is likely some nerves got damaged. I'm sorry to report if your doctor cut any nerves, which is likely, they won't get better.

ooo I don't know, I'd worry any time something goes numb cause it's not getting enough blood to that area.
