Reverse shoulder operation
Have any of you guys had this procedure, if so how did it turn out? How long was the recovery?

I don't think my surgeon shared with me how much they were retracted. If he did, I don't remember. I do recall talking about the possibility of being unable to pull them into place and he would only know once he got in there.
I don't recall the names of the various parts in there, it is written down somewhere. I have a record of which ones were torn off. One was actually attached to the bicep, and it was torn off at least 20 years ago, but he fixed it. Amazing! I was able to function normally for years with bicep damage.
It was after surgery that he informed me it was a total success. Mine was the first time I had this done, and I have been extremely physically active all my life, especially with my heavy lifting and such in my work. Perhaps that played a role, I don't know.
No extra material was added to mine.
I was supposed to have a follow up visit several months ago, but with covid, that never happened. Last follow up was a phone call. If I talk to him again, I will try to remember to ask. I am still not cleared to go back to work, but I am anyways. I gotta eat too...
