I had a slap repair. It is the same surgery, only the anchor (I had only one) is placed at the anterior part of the labrum.

This kind of surgery has an incredibly long recovery time, because the cartilague takes a lot to heal. After some google you will see how professional pitchers are out of the game for nearly a year. And they are professional athletes with personal therapists at their disposal...

You have to follow instructions from your surgeon. But in the general case it goes like this: In the first four to six months after the surgery only stationary bike should be allowed. You want to avoid impact activities such as running, and you don't want to risk falling on that arm (which would definitely ruin the surgery).

After the six month my surgeon allowed me to start running.

At 8 months post surgery I started to swim. At 12 months I started strength training at the gym.

Now (17 months post op) I can do whatever I want, but I will stay away from heavy shoulder presses, forever.

Be patient. Only the stationary bike for the moment. And no, don't use an elliptical machine or anything similar (you may fall on that arm). Just the stationary bike.
