Mick,
I would say "yes", but then again I am not sure.
Wednesday I was playing pick-up ball with a group of guys who call me "the ref" (wish they had never found out). I dove for loose ball, secured it while laying face down on the ground, began dribbling while my chest was still contacting the ground, then stood up and started down court. Everyone called for a travel, but I explained that it wasn't a travel because I never lifted my "pivot" prior to starting my dribble. Then, on my way home, I got to thinking "was that a legal play". I am less sure of myself now having read through this thread.

Yes - that is legal the way you described it. Remember, it is a fundamental rule of basketball that you cannot travel while dribbling.
