If you have both cervical and lumbar herniated discs, do surgeons prefer to operate on one area first over the other, or does it just depend?

In my case my cervical discs seem to cause the greatest problems and I would prefer they be addressed first. I have also read where the cervical surgery takes less time to recover from.

However, it seems that most individuals have the lumbar are operated on first. Inquiring minds (and painful necks and backs) want to know....
