It's such a big decision about 1 or both breasts. I guess if you worry this much about if its the right decision, you will probably continue to worry if you choose just the 1.
You'll know if you have decided when you can stop thinking about it every moment of the day.
The double op is huge, longer, harder on the surgeons but it's the tummy area that is the difficult part in terms of recovery (of course thats after the tissue flaps have settled in). So one or both breasts the tummy area will be the same I think.
Sounds like you have a great surgeon, one willing to advise but not make your decision.
Big hugs
