Default spinal surgery

I have a question for those of you who have suffered from spinal stenosis and because of that had to do surgery. Where and who did you go to and would you do it again?? Did you find relief or were things worse?? I have severe spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine. I had a dis-sectomy in 2011 already that was successful. The surgeon was located here and was good! He was a neuro-surgeon but left which was a sad day for his present and future patients.
I have TVH and have been very much satisfied. Plus we have to BCBS advantage plan---which we also are happy with. I've had lower spine issues for many years...maybe since the late 80's or so. Used to do chiropractic but won't go that route anymore. What do you do for pain? I can't take Nsaids due to some other issues I have.
I know, for some people these surgeries work fine and for others not so much. I only ask about the surgery and the physicians who do them.
