I had my plate removed about 3 weeks ago, even though my shoulder was feeling fine with the plate in. It was pretty swollen and bruised right after the op, but I could move my arm fully after about a week.
It is nice to be fully human and not have to worry about screwing my shoulder up if I fall on the plated side. Other than that, it doesn't feel different to before, but seeing as I was sleeping fine on that side beforehand it's not saying much...
