I would think long and hard before getting a reverse shoulder replacement. I got one two and a half years ago, nothing but problems and infection😢 it's been a horror show. Also recently just had surgery number 5 never should have done it!

Hint: If you are right handed, learn to "wipe" with your left hand at least two months prior to your operation. Same for putting on shirts, eating, brushing your teeth, etc. For flossing, get the kind that look like a Y with the floss attached, or the bristly picks. Keep your armpit super clean and dry, it is easy to get a fungal infection.
PS A shoulder replacement is way less painful/difficult than knee surgery, which really sucks! If you need to take pain pills it means your surgeon sucked, or you are a fat out of shape POS. I know, I have had both knees, a shoulder, and a wrist replaced.

Mega hint: If you are a fatty, LOSE THE WEIGHT. It may save your life!
