Re: replaced o2 sensors
Why did you have to replace the cat converter and what was it replaced with?

Re:
I'd be more curious to know why he decided to replace the cat. converter in the first place and if he noticed any signs of flaking of the ceramic core of the old cat. converter which would suggest further problems and pitting damage of the cylinder walls. Your idling problem could be more serious than you think and the exhaust shop that replaced the cat. converter for you needs to perform compression tests to assure you that no damage to the engine was caused by the first cat. converter.
As to the O2 sensor replacement, if there is damage in the cat. converter it would have damaged the O2 sensor as well and if there is flaking, it would damage any O2 sensor you fit later on.

Re:
If that's the case, the rough idling should be the last of your worries LOL
You're almost due for either a complete engine rebuild or an engine replacement by the sounds of it.
