Everyone recovers differently from surgery. Ask the surgeon how long this lethargy could last.
The best thing you can do is be there to help the person recover in a slow and wise manner.

It's true this is a question that requires much background and should be put to the doctor. But I have heard that any anesthetic for a surgery technically takes up to a full year to leave the body's systems. So, it can take even a year to feel completely yourself again after one surgery. If she had two and one of them went poorly, who knows?

99 percent blood ox? Thats a awsome number! What kind of surgery leaves you lethargic? That doesn't sound right

Her O2 sats being 99 are actually very good--especially if that's on room air. The lethargy could be emotionally caused from the physical stress.
Try and start with getting her to sit outside in the sunshine to raise serotonin levels. That can help with the lethargy.

depends on anesthia and blood loss and condition before surgery- usually 12-16 weeks for the anesthia to get out of the system

It depends on the nature of the surgeries and the age of the patient.

As long as you let them, get physical therapy and force them to get up and move or they will never recover
