Hi, as someone who has had 7 total joint replacement and/revision surgeries, I would not recommend doing bilateral hip replacements. In a perfect world, yes it would be so nice to get them done at once. In a perfect world, yes I would agree it's the easiest of the joint replacement surgeries. Unfortunately, infections happen, complications happen, and when those come up, it's really good to have one of your hips healed and ready to use. Our hips are such a big part of how we move our body, how we sit, stand, walk, even to use a toilet/bed pan. Like others have said, if all goes well, full recovery is within 3-6 months, and then you could get the ball rolling for the next one. If there are complications (and I've had a variety of them), you'll want to have "one good leg to stand on" because recovery and rehab won't be routine and won't be smooth. I was really lucky - my first 5 surgeries didn't have any serious complications. But the last two surgeries I had are the reason they make you sign something that says the surgeon has explained ask the risks to you. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do. We're pulling for you!
