Default Unsure about surgery

I have TOS for a year now. Am still able to function at a low level, but will likely have to leave my job as it is making my symptoms worse. Perhaps I can be a teacher and avoid sitting down at a computer.
Saw a Vascular doc and spoke to another one (Dr. Sanders). They said I might benefit from surgery. My wife and I are very worried about surgery because of all the horror stories I have read about possibly making your symptoms worse (getting RSD).
Has anyone had good results from surgery? Has anyone been able to regain their previous level of activity? Does anyone know what the success rate for TOS surgery is?

I appreciate any help.
