Hello,
Is there a reason you want to get both hips done at once?
My doctor wouldn't do both at the same time, so I opted for 26 days apart.

My doctor recommended both at same time. Both hips equally bad...he says immediate relief from groin pain...and that I'll be walking into his office in 3 weeks with a cane...back to work in about 4 weeks....he says 1 recovery, 1 anesthesia, and that it will be anterior approach...I am in good health without any major medical conditions...so, he says I'm a candidate...he does bilateral often...he says he 'cherry picks' those for bilateral..I guess based on health history.
