Very encouraging and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Did being physically fit before hand help with your recovery? And were you able to exercise in some way after the operation?

Having good arm strength and good core helped some.. but it’s not a have to have. No exercise till PT says so. After I finished PT I started very slowly to do stretches. No weights on arms just isometric work. Lightly. It’s been since April 21 surgery day and I am just now working on lite strength work on my arms .half pound weight or less. Walking is my best exercise 👍 gained a few pounds from surgery and Covid stuff. Hope this helps it was the best surgery for me. Glad I had it Great Doctor too. Just follow Doctors orders and your PT person!
