Glad it worked for you. Some of us had less successful outcomes and years of pain, discomfort, disfiguration and the resulting depression and suicidal ideation. In my experience with surgery(one urology related, one shoulder surgery), surgeons over promise, under deliver, and are not at all compassionate when their magic fails to fix you.

I'm aware I've had good luck with regard to physical health.

Not getting into details, the main surgery I had was a routine operation which cured an otherwise life-threatening issue. So I'm a bit biased here.
