i am recovering from colon surgery myself. it takes a few months for the anesthesia to get out of your system. as for pain, it subsides in time.
depending on where the incision is and what was done, the time will vary. this is my 5th time going under the knife due to my illness.
just make sure he eats, drinks plenty of water, avoids smoking/drinking, and gets the needed rest to heal.
best of luck.
