hi.
your cholecystectomy 5 years ago is not related to your fatigue and muscle weakness. and the course of your surgery seemed unremarkable from the time of your operation. you have other medical concerns which are more important to look at. a consult with your doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
