Can't offer advice for surgery but regarding anesthesia...get an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block (or better yet, interscalene catheter and pump) for post-op pain control. Some places will do the entire surgery using the nerve block and some sedation.
While not without risks, this block makes life much better after shoulder surgery and should be offered and placed routinely, efficiently and effectively.
Good luck!
