Yes but you need to be really flexible to start, and might need to take anti-inflammatory drugs to keep your bones from consolidating too soon.

Even one segment at a time is a lot.

and by yes you would still need to do the operations 6 weeks apart

Statistically more surgeries equals to more risks and complications.
