What is the best way to start exercising if you have a really bad back?

Can anybody from past/present experiences tell me what the best way to start exercising? I would love to take walks but my back is in bad shape and I really have trouble walking for any distances. Any help would be great! My back hurts so much that I can't even lay down on my back on a bed. By the way... getting nervous... Surgery date is on April 28, 2003. My sister had this done in January and down 50lbs! Way to go Tina! Another friend had this done on March 17 and she is already down 30lbs! Congrats to all! Please answer me directly: [email protected] Thanks for everything!
