Also, many have said that the side procedure is much better than the front procedure.

So, I am looking for advice from people that have had this done and a recommendation for very good surgeon, as well any other firsthand advice, like who to stay away from.

My goal is to get back to bowling and some golfing without the current pain.
I started experiencing knee pain in my early 60's. I have been taking Glucosamine / Chondroitin WITH msm for about 15 years now. I am relatively free of knee pain. Best of luck to you.
