Hi there. I’m glad you’re on the road to feeling better!
Focus on strength and conditioning, because as long as you do this, your weight won’t matter so much.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I suggest using the invert program https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/Nailed_It_Pole_Programs However, if you haven’t been active for a few months, I suggest starting with any of the beginner level programs. As in these we focus on strength and conditioning.
If the programs don’t interest you, because you had a scapula injury, at the very least do this routine 2 – 3 times per week for at least 3 weeks before attempting to invert https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5914a2d7-ddd0-43b5-b6a3-1fc2ac110006
Also remember the step and sweep (controlled momentum) method of inverting takes a lot of the stress off the body when inverting from a deadlift. I talk about this in all of the inverting tutorials here.
