Depending on the person and location of the piercing, it can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months for a lip piercing to heal.
After the first 2 weeks you can change the jewelry if no infection is present. Piercers use a 14 gauge needle when piercing, so you might want to down size to a 16 gauge.
To test if your piercing is fully healed (this should only be done if there is no infection. Infections mean the wound is not healed), then try removing the jewelry for 5 minutes and put it back in. If you have no trouble putting the jewelry back in and the hole has not begun to close, then try leaving it out for 20 minutes. If the hole doesn't show signs of it closing, then gradually lengthen the time the jewelry is out.
A fully healed lip piercing will stay pierced even after leaving the jewelry out for a few days. There will always be a small bit of discharge around your piercing. Healthy discharge will be white, not yellow or pus-like.

Do you have to get a ball on a lip ring when you get it pierced or is there a way to get it without?
You can get it without a captive bead, but it is not recomended. The captive bead protects your piercing unti it is healed by preventing the seam of the ring from possibly scarring. It can be worn inside the lip out of sight and changed out once the peircing is healed.
