When my husband had the procedure done his doc told hilm 15-18mm are the magic numbers as to what she is aiming for when she does this procedure, My husband had 2 throat stretchings 2 weeks apart as she said leaving it too long the throat can go back to pervious size. Mind you that was his experiance and every one is different! Congrats on being a 25 year survivor!!!!! You are the 1st I have ever encountered ! Keep it up!
