Your surgeon didn't give you any idea of avg hospital stay or avg recovery time for this surgery? Do you have another appt before the surgery so you can ask?

Did you find a skilled TOS surgeon?

Hospital & recovery -
It is so hard to say, everyone is different, some are in hosp for a day or 2 and some need to stay a week.
Same with post op recovery, some do very well and some heal slower or have more pain.
Just a avg time frame- about 2-3 weeks?? until some light activities can be started again.
Exercise is hard to say, some kinds OK but weights or strenuous stuff probably not for awhile.

I think being as healthy as you can be going into surgery always helps, healthy foods and maybe some vitamins /supplements, toss the junk food etc..
