Had mine done in '07.
Torn rotator and detached muscle left me with 4 anchors and shoelaces in my shoulder. Several years after the surgery, it's been pretty good. A zing every now and then reminds you it's there and sometimes when you move it it pops and snaps.
Even though it's pretty good, I'm still careful with it. Always think it's going to blowout again But that's me.
Do your therapy religiously when the time comes. Don't do anything stupid even though you may think it's healed or you'll damage it again.
If you haven't already, get and use one of those Iceman machines. Really helps and it was my new best friend for a couple of months.
