Default has anyone decided not to have surgery when it was recommended?

I am wondering if anyone has made the decision not to have surgery. I have TOS and no pain. I had numbness and coldness in two fingers, but I began physical therapy in May and my fingers are much better. I am seeing the physical therapist twice a week. I don't have any pain (and never did).

I don't want to have the surgery because I am functioning fine. In addition I am concerned about complications post surgery because I always seem to develop infections, have lung complications etc. So I would like to know whether anyone here made the decision not to have the surgery after a surgeon recommended it. Thanks!
