Despite the fact that I have been swimming forever (played Div I water polo in college) I never learned to swim butterfly very well (at all). I'm recovering from shoulder surgery (old injury -- torn labrum/stretched capsule) and eager to begin swimming again. When I am as close to 100 percent as possible, is it still possible to learn to become a decent flyer? I'm 46, pretty overweight, and want this comeback to be my last one. (I think the local team must be fed up with me showing up every other year for a few months then disappearing). And I'd like to be somebody who does every stroke, every set, finally.
Any and all advice is welcome.

I say Go for it!..
As others have stated, listen to your body and go slowly paying attention to correct form etc.. but other than that, I don't see why anyone at any age couldn't at least try to learn new strokes.
Nice gusto!!! Go for it and have fun!
cheers,
