I think maybe you better plan on more like a few months to heal properly. Not trying to scare you, just being honest like these people were with me. I sometime wish I hadn't of turned the tube down and maybe I wouldn't have lost 70 lbs, but I did. I wish you all of the luck in the world and the best to you.
