What is the largest size of a uterine fibroid that can be removed through laparoscopic surgery?

I've got a large one, sized like a 16 weeks fetus, and a few small ones. I can actually see the lump if i lie on my back! I'm really scared cause the doctor who found them said they need to be removed mainly because of their size.
I didn't have children yet, but I hope to have them one day.
If you have experience with that, what options should I ask about at my next appointment? Is laparoscopic surgery even possible when they are so huge?

Through laparoscopic? Really?
