Dear User,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

As I understand your sister's behavior she might be suffering from mood disorder probably bipolar II or bipolar I. Such kind of behavior found in mood disorders and the episode of mood disorder may be precipitated after any stressful event including surgery.

Surgery is not the cause of this behavior and it may occur to any body.

She need to be evaluated fully to rule out any organic cause for such behavior.
Thanks
