Celeste,
I made the same decision to have a double. I knew it was right for me because I didn't want to have to go through it again-I was so glad I did because I also had a dcis that no imaging found (and let me tell you I had every imaging modality known to man (well woman). The recovery from the surgery and chemo took time but I was able to get back to the gym and swimming as soon as I was healed enough.
I just had my nipples tattooed last week and am thrilled with having a nearly normal chest. The nurse who did the tattoos is also going to do eyeliner as my treat to myself for getting through everything.
I know you will do well and like so many on this site find yourself stronger in so many ways. Soon this part of your life will be behind you.

With best hopes and wishes for a speedy recovery

Henny
