I had a mild separation that also caused some pretty nasty ligament pulls in the area ( I did it lifting a case of bottled water out of my truck and felt stupid afterward). I didn't need surgery but did go to physical therapy for about 6 weeks to build the strength back up. After the therapy was done I still had to do the exercises and it was probably around 3 months before my shoulder actually felt normal again.

The tough part about the injury is that unless you immobilize it, you are always moving that joint all day long so it takes longer than normal to heal.
