gum grafting

I have receding gums on my bottom, front teeth, and I'll be having gum grafting surgery next month. I also had the same thing when I was quite young, before I played clarinet.

My periodontist advised that I'd be unable to play clarinet for six weeks in order for the skin graft to take. I'm good at following doctors' orders so that's fine with me, although I anticipate getting back into shape will definitely be a challenge.

Have any of you had gum grafting surgery, specifically on the bottom front, and how did it affect your future clarinet playing, if at all?
