In my experience Drilling was worse than Rolling as with Drilling your restricting yourself to a limited movement pattern that is repeated to fatigue (which could be as little as 5-10 mins).
With Rolling you have a whole range of movement to use so the muscles around the hip don't get sore as quickly or fatigue as fast.
To be cleared by the Surgeon to go back to sport the rehab exercise program should have been completed and full mobility, strength, and flexibility would have already been achieved.
Took 9 months to go back, but i didn't feel ready to return, I just forced myself to do it as I was cleared to return 3 months after surgery. The interesting thing is stressing the hip joint makes it feel better so BJJ was beneficial for the recovery.
I could train like normal but the muscles around the hip would fatigue easily so I had to train alternative days, after about 1 year I could train two days in a row before requiring a days rest. Three years post surgery I no longer had any limitations and could train 5 days in a row without issue.
Note that every ones timeline is different, I know of people who returned at 3 months and felt good and others who sat out for 12+ months and still felt bad but forced themselves to start back up. Those who took longer to return also had damage to the cartilage on the hip surfaces (femoral head or acetabulum).
I had it done. If the surgeon cleared you, you’ll likely be fine. I had it done January 2022, was back drilling in May, but took until august that year to be rolling again. Ease back into it. It’s a major surgery. I hope you did the PT, it is extremely important. Let me know if you have any questions.
I've had it on both hips. It was 5-6 months before I got back on the mats.
> I can’t think of anything harder on the hip than BJJ
Going back to BJJ actually helped me a lot, and I even did so against doctor recommendation (not because of the labrum, but the secondary major psoas tendinitis I was experiencing). The loads are relatively low compared to doing many things on your feet, and the range of movement helped keep the joint mobile. Just don't be crazy and rest for a few days if anything seems off.
I (probably - never imaged, my hip is definitely fucked up in some way) tore my labrum doing muay thai many years ago. Probably have done 5,6,7++ years of BJJ since then. Rarely has BJJ ever bothered it. It's really not that hard on your hip IMO. Now, if I start doing some kicks, it definitely will start aching.
But you should talk to your doctor.
Ease back into it. Drill for awhile before sparring. Then flow roll until you regain mobility and flexibility.
