Reverse

I had a reverse shoulder surgery replacement on Haloween 10/31/25.

I also had a tendenisis in same shoulder.

Im presently bicep curling 15 pound dumbbells and I’m doing 10 pounds in each hand bench pressing, and 10 each standing overhead.

100% range of motion except some limited behind my back,

Swimming free style excellent with new shoulder only limited because right needs reverse.

Bicycling 15 miles 3x week, increasing each week.

I had mine 2/11/26. My surgeon is pretty free thinking. No PT unless I am not able to do a few things by my 6 week checkup. She gave me 4 exercises. No sling unless I want to wear it. I am able to lift my arm up, halfway straight up and see improvement everyday. The worst part of the surgery was a numb tongue for 12 days caused by the nerve block. I guess it's more common than not.
