What would cause a collasped lung directly after surgery?

there is a person who is in our support group and came out of surgery - was very winded after surgery - come to find out a couple of days later she had a colasped lung. Her surgery was an open RNYGB - my question is this a common experience?? Thank you. Janice Paige
