Regeneration time depends on how seriously your nerve was injured and the type of injury that you sustained. If your nerve is bruised or traumatized but is not cut, it should recover over 6-12 weeks. A nerve that is cut will grow at 1mm per day, after about a 4 week period of 'rest' following your injury
Be patient

Depends on the type of surgery and the amount of nerve damage. Please consult with a neurologist if you have nerve damage after surgery.
What type of surgery did you have? I would in general allow 6 months to a couple of years to heal.
imm/day
1 millimeter per day if they can, and they may not heal at all or heal partially.
