I had my right thumb done in 2011 and did not play from April until mid July. I did use a neck strap that first year as things were recovering. I no longer need it. Also, at that time I was not playing sax at all. I just did not own one and it didnt really have anything to do with the surgery. I did go through a fair amount of physical therapy on my hand.
The second hand was a few years later, and I ran into some issues that at first appeared to be surgery related, but were actually due to a pinched nerve I had in my neck, that I eventually had surgery on. This was really an unfortunate coincidence, and as soon as the neck surgery healed I was good to play. I suspect I could have been playing less than 3 months after the left hand surgery without this complication.
I know it is frightening to consider, and the decision is yours to make but I know having this surgery was the right choice for me.
Good luck
