I do not suggest doing this w/o first checking with your Dr. I would also take no ones advice on this forum except maybe for Dr. Pete.
Everyone is different.
I have you beat by one surgery (strange contest) and I find a road bike easier on my back than an upright bike too. No weight on my spine, and the position means I am catching and fighting a lot less wind.
