I exercise 5-6 times a week (weights, spinning, walking and running stairs) and want to know how quickly after surgery I can start at least walking briskly again?  Having surgery in 2 mos due to 8 ovarian fibroids. I will have just turned 50 about a month before surgery.  I'm in overall good health and physically fit.  Not exercising is going to be hard because it helps me mentally and helps my stress. Would love to hear how other active women have dealt with this.
