Having shoulder surgery for osteolysis in my throwing shoulder in March (I'm an OF'er). They have to cut a few mm of bone from each side of the AC Joint. The doc said it is a 4 month recovery. It really sucks because last season was my first year playing since highschool (15 yrs ago) and I hit 0.382 with a 0.500 OBP in a wood bat league. Now I'm out for half of this year at least.

Anyone else have this? Did it take you shorter or longer than 4 months to get back to playing again?

I'm an OF'er too td25. And by that I mean an Old Fart. I was finishing up high school about the same time they finally agreed to the shape of the table for the Paris Peace Talks.

The docs have whittled on me a bunch and I can't seem to recall if they were adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing, but one thing's for sure...they were billing!

Seriously...much success with your upcoming surgery. Follow your doctor's advice regarding rehab after any surgery or procedure. That's important.

Hey gang, let's help td out. Does anyone have experience with this?

April 23, 2010 I had bone spurs removed. While he was at it, Doc punched a couple more holes to clean out some loose parts that were floating around in there. I was aggressive on rehab, ie did what I was supposed to do and a bit more. Began light bench press in late June. Threw a bit in early July, but not enough to play real ball, just very soft stuff from 3/4 with my boy. Shoulder was still raw and sensitive. Stepped up bench press in August. (I mention bp because the feel of compression was a good measure of my shoulder recovery.) I would say that I was 90% by October but then I over-worked the shoulder on weights and finally backed off in late December. I remember throwing some long-toss with my boy in November and felt pretty good but not great. We mostly threw the football in the fall and I felt deficient in passing. I threw long-toss with him Monday and felt great. I use bands and five pound dumbells every night to do 6 or 8 of the Throwers Ten. I will be 48 next Wednesday. I presume you are about 33. If I had been ten years younger, I believe I would have been able to throw at 90% in 4 or 5 months. Based on that you should be good to go in 4ish months. Good luck.
