I had a private myomectomy operation performed by Dr Khalaf in June 2021. I had spoken to other private consultants and they were not 100% confident in the work and mentioned there was a risk of rupture. I said this to Dr Khalaf when we had our video call to discuss my condition. I sent all the scans to his secretary and she booked me in for the operation within a month. She was very helpful and made things easier and kept us updated on every step of the way. Dr Khalaf explained that the procedure was nothing to worry about. I had delayed having the surgery for several years as was worried it may affect my ability to conceive ( if there was a rupture I was told by other consultants I would need a hysterectomy). He said he was certain this would not happen. The operation didn’t take long. Once I was awake dr Khalaf checked on me to make sure I was doing Ok and explained he had removed 25 fibroids! He said I needed rest and to take upto six weeks off. After 3 weeks I returned to the hospital for a follow up. He checked my incision and said that it was healing very well. You can barely see the scar now. Consequently, my bleeding has reduced on average from 20-25 days a month (including spotting throughout the month), to 4-5 days of normal bleeding (no spotting). As I was feeling fine, I returned to work the following week. Dr Khalaf has changed my life. I was in near constant pain, fear and anxiety because of my fibroids. Thankfully, he performed an amazing job and I can now lead a normal life. Thank you so much Dr Khalaf and your team. I will be returning in January for the next phase of my journey, with his team to start IVF.
