Are you feeling weighed down, literally and figuratively, by obesity or related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnoea or polycystic ovarian disease affecting fertility? I understand. These challenges can touch every part of your life, and finding a real, lasting solution can feel overwhelming.
At Precision Upper GI Surgery, I offer more than just procedures; I offer a partnership and a clear path forward with advanced weight loss and metabolic health options. My focus is entirely on you – providing personalised care to help you achieve significant health improvements and embrace a more vibrant future.
Identifying the most effective approach for sustained weight loss requires careful consideration. While non-surgical weight management strategies, including structured dietary plans and exercise regimens, are important components, these methods alone may not achieve sustained, significant and lasting weight loss for individuals with obesity and associated metabolic conditions.
My role is to discuss if surgery could be the right option for you, especially when other methods haven’t led to long-term success.
Choosing the right support for significant weight loss is perhaps the most important decision you’ll make. When considering surgical options like bariatric surgery, I believe my dedicated approach offers important advantages:
Your health situation is unique. I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. I start by listening carefully to understand your challenges, medical history, and goals, so I can recommend the most effective surgical option for your specific needs.
I am highly skilled in the latest minimally invasive ('keyhole') techniques. For you, this often means surgery with smaller cuts, enhanced safety, less discomfort, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker return to your usual activities.
My expertise goes beyond just weight loss. The surgical procedures aim to significantly improve or even resolve related health problems like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol by positively influencing your body's metabolism.
This journey requires support. I am your dedicated partner from our first conversation, through detailed preparation (with specialist dietitians), expert surgical care, and essential long-term follow-up. Your well-being is always my top priority.
Success is about more than numbers on a scale. I focus on the real improvements patients experience – better overall health, easier movement, renewed confidence, and simply enjoying everyday life more

Precision Upper GI Surgery offers proven surgical procedures designed for significant, lasting weight loss and better control over related health conditions. During your confidential consultation, I’ll discuss the best option for you based on a thorough assessment. My primary procedures include:
About 80% of the stomach is removed using keyhole surgery, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This naturally limits how much food you can comfortably eat at one time and also helps regulate hormones linked to hunger, fullness, and blood sugar.
Very effective for achieving significant weight loss. Often reduces feelings of hunger. Can improve or resolve related health conditions like diabetes Technically simpler than bypass surgery. A common and effective choice for many patients.
Often called the 'gold standard', this keyhole procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and adjusting the path food takes through your small intestine. This limits how much food you eat and changes how your body absorbs calories and signals fullness.
Typically leads to major, long-lasting weight loss. Has strong positive effects on type 2 diabetes (often leading to remission) and other related health issues. A well-established procedure with years of data supporting its effectiveness.
This keyhole procedure also creates a smaller, longer stomach pouch. This new pouch is then connected to a loop of the small intestine further down. This design helps you eat less and also reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients.
Known for powerful weight loss and significant improvement in type 2 diabetes. It can sometimes be a slightly simpler or quicker procedure to perform compared to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, while offering similar strong benefits.
I understand every patient is different. Other surgical options may be suitable and will be discussed based on your individual assessment.
Deciding on weight loss surgery is a major step. I’m here to guide you with expertise and genuine care throughout the entire process:
1
A private, in-depth conversation about your medical background, weight history, health challenges, goals, and whether surgery is the right fit for you.
2
I ensure you feel fully informed and ready. This includes educational resources, personalised guidance from specialist dietitians, and necessary health checks.
3
Your surgery will be performed by myself using advanced minimally invasive techniques in accredited Sydney hospital facilities, prioritising your safety.
4
This is vital for lasting success. My programme includes regular check-ins, ongoing support from dietitians, access to psychological support if needed, and practical advice for adapting your lifestyle and maintaining your results.
Unlock the Benefits of Renewed Health Weight loss (metabolic) surgery can offer transformations that go far beyond weight reduction. My patients often experience:
Here are some common questions about weight loss and metabolic surgery:
Determining if weight loss surgery is a suitable option depends on various factors, including your BMI, overall health, and previous weight loss attempts. A thorough consultation with a qualified surgeon like myself is the best way to assess your eligibility.
Common procedures include Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass. Other options may be considered based on individual needs. Each procedure works differently to help you lose weight and improve metabolic health.
A sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach to reduce food intake and influence hormones related to hunger and fullness.
Like any surgery, there are potential risks and complications. I will discuss these with you in detail during your consultation, ensuring you have clear and honest information.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery and individual factors. My support includes comprehensive post-operative guidance to help you through this period.
Achieving lasting success after weight loss surgery requires commitment to lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular follow-up care.
Coverage varies, and it’s essential to understand the costs and potential funding options available. My office team can help you navigate this.
