Wow, your almost a stitch-and-glue kayaker now! Sorry, black humour. I've heard it takes a number of months, taking longer the older one is. Stents are easier to heal from (a week or two maximum, but they just clog up again). Obey your Doctors!!!!! Be good. None of that paddlewiser irascibility if things take a while to heal, eh!
