If someone is shot in the arm the bullet passes through, how long will it take to heal?

I'm writing a novel, and I need to know if someone gets shot in the arm, near the bicep, and the bullet passes right through, what would the recovery process be? Would doctors stitch it up, put his arm in a sling, and send him home? Or something else? Also, how long would it take to heal?

Thank you!
