I had a reverse shoulder replacement in January of 2026. It has now been 7 months since surgery and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am back to performing simple things I was not able to do with out a considerable amount Show moreof pain. Range of motion is great, strength is great. My surgeon was Doc. Haggerty, he and his team took great care of me at the surgery center in Wasilla as well as in the Wasilla office. Recovery was better than I was imagining it would be. Not gonna lie the sling was not fun but other than that it wasn't bad. I am resistance training my upper body again with no pain and shoulder feels strong.
