Could having surgery cause a stroke months later?

Not likely: Delayed stroke from brain surgery or carotid surgery is very rare. A full stroke work-up is warranted to properly determine what the cause of the stroke was.

Surgery on what?: Are you referring to carotid artery surgery? If not, is it heart surgery? If neither of these is the case, then it is most unlikely that there is any connection.
