My cousin had a shoulder reconstruction (rugby), before he had it done it was extermely unstable, popped at the climbing gym a couple of times withoutv excessive stress, it involved 12 months layoff and lots of work with the thera band, seems to be back to full strength even led a 24 (sport) the other day. Not bad considering he is just on the good side on triple figures (100kg).
Incidently I have belayed him several times on natural gear falls and the extra weight doesn,t seem to make a significant difference.
