Pt does 20 mile bike race 8 wks after laparoscopic myomectomy

“I have been dealing with fibroids for years…By the first week I was doing OK. I was shocked…There’s an annual bike ride in DC called DC Bike Ride…it’s 20 miles and I did it. The worst thing that hurt were my legs!”

Fibroids suck…but recovery after fibroid surgery doesn’t have to. Using minimally invasive surgical techniques and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, even patients with advanced fibroid disease can be treated in an outpatient manner. These surgeries are associated with a lower risk of complications, less pain and the ability to return to regular activity much sooner.

Be sure to check out my latest postop patient testimonial by clicking on the link in my bio. While everyone’s individual experience is different, this patient was able to participate in a 20 mile bike race 8 weeks after her myomectomy surgery! Even though her largest fibroids were the size of a grapefruits, she could still be treated in a minimally invasive manner with small incisions and go home the same day.

If you have fibroids and are being told to wait before considering treatment or if you were told your fibroids cannot be treated using minimally invasive surgery, consider getting a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th opinion. Feel free to give my office a call to set up an in person or virtual consultation to discuss your specific case. I look forward to taking care of you. – Dr. L
