Our Practice
The Upper GI Surgery specialist bariatric practice has been established over 20 years
The Upper GI Surgery specialist bariatric practice has been established over 20 years in Sydney with our main base located in Kogarah and other clinics in Wollongong, the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and Orange. We are a welcoming and committed team comprised of specialist surgeons, physicians, nurses, dietitian, psychologist and admin support staff, making sure you are in the best hands for the duration of your treatment with us and the crucial aftercare period.
Our bariatric surgery experience is second to none and we have Australian leading experience in many procedures, including the less commonly performed complex revision and robotic surgery. We are an accredited Centre of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery, with our surgeons Associate Professor Michael Talbot and Dr Jason Maani holding the Master Surgeon accreditation, and Dr Gary Yee the Surgeon of Excellence accreditation.
Our bariatric procedures include gastric banding, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, re-operation for recurrent weight problems and correction of surgical complications. We are experts in weight loss surgery and the necessary aftercare, so you can feel confident when choosing us.
As well as being a pioneer in bariatric surgery, we are also leaders in Upper GI oncology diagnosis and surgery such as oesophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer and more, with many of these procedures able to be performed endoscopically or laparoscopically. We also specialise in other areas of Upper GI such as reflux, hernias and gallstones, providing innovative and effective treatment for our patients.
