You wouldn't have been told to wait that long unless you needed to be told to wait that long. You need to let the piercing heal before you go changing the jewellery, if you change it too soon you can damage the fine tissue your body is trying to form to make the piercing. So wait till it's ready.

Stepping a lip ring down can generally be done two weeks after the piercing has been done, by then the swelling should have eased and a smaller ring can be put in place. If you still have swelling it would be wise to wait another week just to be safe.
