I do not have personal experience with this, but one if my best friends does. She had a laproscopic hysterectomy, too. All I can do is urge you to respect your doctor's orders as to how long to rest. My friend started walking and running before she was cleared. Her bowel prolapsed months later. She got one heck of a lecture about it from her doc (and another surgery). The doc said that even when you start to feel fine, you are still healing internally. So, please be patient with the recovery process. Your bike will still be there when you're ready. I'm sorry to scare you; I just think it's important advice.
