	I had a top surgeon, published on shoulders, had done pro athletes. Open surgery. 4 months out on flatwater. 5 months on class 2-3. 6 months on class 4. 8 months on class 5. 9 months out, playboating on class 2-3, it pops out again while upside down (big wave). Doc said to treat it like new after 6 months, and I was religious about PT, bands and light weights every day, and boating 4-5 days a week at 7 months. It's really unstable now, but I'm not getting cut again until I have good reason to think it'll be more successful second time around. Sold the playboat.
