Had the plate in from mid October to Late February. For me, it was the muscle bruising that was the most painful. So in October I had to wait for the deep bruising of the crash to subside as well as the surgery, but the removal was much easier.
I think it was about 3 weeks before I rode to work in Oct/Nov. Was much easier when they were removing it. I had the surgery on Friday and rode to work on Monday, though I remember thinking twice about that as it had been pretty painful going over bumps.
Perhaps yours would be speedier because you're beyond that initial crash damage, it'd just be the surgery to deal with.

Mine isn't tenting instead it's a chunk at the end that hasn't joined which is causing the pain. How long did you have yours in for? How long before you could get back in a bike? I missed out cycling over the whole of summer from the initial accident so now I don't want to start the year in the same way and end up being off the bike for a few more months.
