Angry computer reprogram neccessary?

Just looking for a simple answer to what I hope is a simple question!

Car is a '97 Sunfire SE. Ran beautifully the whole 2 months I had it in my possession, before refusing to start after a quick run up to the store. Had a shop replace the fuel pump and filter, and in doing so, they of course disconnected my battery. They then claimed that the computer needed to be reprogrammed, and hence forth has led to one problem after another, escalating what was supposed to be a $150 job into nearly $1100 (it is still at the same shop, 23 days later, still waiting for parts), including theft codes being thrown, then the crankshaft sensor being intermittent, and the need for a new instrument panel cluster.

My main question-- did they actually need to reprogram my car's computer after disconnecting the battery, and having only replaced a fuel pump and filter?

Thanks guys!!!
