Shoulder Replacement

Hey folks,
72 yo old long term road cyclist. I have had both hips replaced and can ride as long and hard as I want going on 16th yr post replacement. I have bone on bone deterioration right shoulder which, by XRay, my orthopod states qualifies for surgery now but he recommends waiting until I can’t sleep through night. Currently one of the few activities that do not bother the shoulder is cycling. I feel in next year or two a posterior total shoulder replacement is inevitable and am concerned about its impact on my cycling, currently 150-200 miles a week.
Any folks out there that have had this surgery and are still cycling ?
