Post-surgery shoulder armor?

Hello all. So this might be a strange question, but hoping you all would have some insights.

I'm getting shoulder surgery (rotator cuff fully torn with tendon anchors) and I need to protect it for months afterwards. I believe some practice armor might help keep my arm protected from the daily bumps and bangs - as I really need to baby my arm for months.

I would wear this over a shirt so weight and fastening are big factors.

Any insights would be helpful - thanks!
