I completely separated my AC joint 4 years ago. Had a "Weaver Dunn" procedure, and then stupidly didn't bother with physio, had a few more bumps, and it stretched badly over time.
9 weeks ago finally had a second surgery, this time "Lockdown" which is basically a fat strap and screw, and seems much more study than the previous op. Have also religiously been doing my physio and seems alright. They had to saw a piece of bone off where it had grown out from not being where it should have been for years. So not ideal, but would recommend the Lockdown procedure if that's an option. Apparently popular with rugby players too.
Has anyone else had the Lockdown one, and if so, thoughts / feedback / time before you got back on the bike?

Same as mine, except on the other side.
I spoke at the time to the shoulder specialist about a lockdown operation, which they said I could have at any time, but it's a delicate op and I was told up to ten weeks recovery, so I have so far chosen not to bother.
