Had torn labrum, rotator cuff repair and shaved bone all in one procedure two years ago.
1 year to full recovery for range of motion and strength.
Use a Physical Therapist for Rehab.
Dont rush back too soon. If you reinjure it you are screwed.
Go with scope vs. traditional surgery. Scope is less invasive.
If you are in the Missoula Mt area contact Dr. Larry Stayner at Northern Rockies Orthopedic.
If it is your right shoulder and you are right handed you are in for some interesting surpises.........you will see what I mean after taking your first dump following surgery.
Enjoy the painkillers.

I had mine done a few years ago. Didn't take me more than about 3 months to heal up, but I reinjured it, and now, it's screwed. Just my experience with my injuries, but I basically have 85% range of motion. I've lost most if not all of the overhead use of both my arms (which i'm sure is not a common thing). I have range of motion over my head, but I have to be VERY VERY careful about not having any weight on my arm at all when it's extended.
Basically, LET IT HEAL RIGHT, and it'll treat you well. Don't reinjure it like I did...
Good luck!

Just had mine done last wednesday, Scoped left shoulder , 2 bone spurs removed, top tendon was frayed , which they trimmed and shaved the bone to make nicey!! Feels pretty good so far , but it is sore. Don't nobody be touching me!!!! I did the right shoulder 10 years , better then ever . Hope this 1 will be the same.
I rolled the 4 wheeler about a month ago and landed on my shoulder hard. I haven't been right since. I don't like going to the doctor so I haven't gone yet.
I sneeze and it almost makes you want to cry. I may be going in. I hope I don't have to do what you guys had to, it doesn't sound like fun.

Most important info.
I had a spur that was rubbing on my rotator. They went in to remove the spur and, thank God, there was no cuff damage as rehab would have been twice as long.
Don't dog on the rehab, it'll only prolong things.
Thanks for the info! Bubba, my doc is Dr Andary, he is suposed to be excelent..its good to hear many of you have had good results, keeps me feeling alright about things!
Dr. Andary ....
he's the best around here!! That's who did the surgery on my femur. Two years ago Slim had shoulder surgery with him, and tomorrow is having elbow surgery with him. Have you talked to Slim about your shoulder, he healed up in about 3 months, and he's old. CC - when's your surgery? Tell your Mom if she needs any help, it's my turn.
Besides, how could you go wrong with Dr. Andary - he operated on the "ROCK".

Had my right shoulder done march 7 and they did some work on my torn AC joint, did 90lb dumbell chest press on Tuesday and today is shoulder day, so hoping for 80lb dumbell overhead press and 180 smith machine.....I am being tested on May 10 at the U of C as they used some new fangled bionic stuff on me.....I feel like 10 million bucks........
snojo..
Thanks for the good news, I'm feeling in good hands now. And thats kinda funny you mentioned the Rock, we left his office our last visit and my mom said to me "i could have sworn i saw a pic of Dr Andary with the Rock." with both you, slim, and the rock i'll be in good company!..as for the date of surgery we're sitll not sure, trying to figure out when would be best in relation to school and such. say hi to slim for me, and good luck with the surgery tomorow!..anything ya need help with Ben and I will do our best!

CC, you'll be fine. Yer young, strong, athletic and you are intelligent. Just listen to the Doc and don't be a puss on yer rehab. The term "no pain no gain" is correct, just don't overdoo it. Dr. John will say "Let pain be your guide on how much excercise you do"
I was playing pool 3 days after my rotator/bone spur/bicep ligament fix surgery
Shot the best round in the Masters I ever did, cause it slowed me down, hehehhehehe. But I dont recommend what I did You'll be back doing normal activities within a month, BUT very slooowly.
Thanks for the encouragement Slim! I'm not looking forward to it, but i'm looking forward to getting it out of the way. with summer commin up i gotta be in decent shape to raise some he**! i'll have to tell ya what Ben and I did last weekend when we come out to help ya. good luck with yours today, and we'll see ya soon.
thanks to everyone else for your comments!
