I had a SLAP surgery on my non-dominant shoulder at age 52. I'm still very happy with the results 6 years later. Unfortunately, I know that's not particularity relevant to your situation.

I think most will agree that you should get at least one other opinion from a surgeon who specializes with young athletes. Personally, I would really consider making the drive or short flight from Indiana to the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze FL.

Also, JohnF has a son who went through it in 2015. You might want to send him a PM.
