I'm having surgery tomorrow for a possible Slap Tear and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Three years ago I dislocated my shoulder out the back and tore my Labrum (Bankart). With the tear I also had nerve damage that eventually healed itself after 3+ months.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be something different with a Slap Tear surgery than my previous surgery that I can expect/prepare for (physical therapy more intense, recovery take longer, more pain, etc?)?

Any advice or information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Leslie

Best wishes and good luck!

There is no way of knowing until they get in there, but hopefully it will be an easy repair, as most are.
