Hi everyone!

The St George Obesity Surgery Team is starting a new initiative with planned walks throughout the year. As we find opportunities to exercise together, these walks are also meant to promote a healthy lifestyle while being social, enjoyable and fun! The very first one is extra special, as we are walking to also commemorate the late Dr. Ken Loi.

Our first one will be on the 18th of August at 1030am. We will be doing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge walk all the way to Lavender Bay and back (3km in total).
Please read the flyer for more information.

This is a free event and not limited to any numbers. Feel free to bring your friends or family along if they are interested. For Registration, please contact the rooms (95878813) to express interest. We will be doing a little fund raising if you are interested with donations going out to The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse Foundation for cancer research in honour of Dr. Loi.

Hope to see you all there!

Lots of love,
The St George Obesity Surgery Team

Hi, I’m Dr Qiuye Cheng, lovely to meet you all.

I am a specialist bariatric and upper gastrointestinal surgeon. As many of our beloved patients are aware, the practice has stepped into a new era with the sad passing of Dr. Ken Loi. Ken was a highly celebrated bariatric surgeon who has touched countless lives and was universally adored. He has placed his trust in me in continuing his good work, with me now stepping into the role as lead surgeon at St. George Obesity Surgery (SGOS). Together with the established team, I will continue to uphold the highest standard of surgical care and commitment towards long term bariatric follow up that the practice is known for.

Being a modern-day surgeon involves much more than just being technically sound and knowledgeable. The pace is fast and its crucial to be continuously evolving our thinking and treatment methods. Above all, it’s about being accessible, compassionate and forever your strongest medical advocate.

I along with the whole SGOS team, look forward to being an integral part of your surgical journey. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for placing your trust in me.

Reduced hunger and enhanced satiety result from weight loss surgery.

Patients are unlikely to achieve significant long-term success with their weight unless they CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR and adopt better behaviours.

Elevated levels of emotion (stress or anger), distractions while eating (watching television, listening to music, or speaking with friends), and poor planning and activity patterns when it comes to eating and exercise are all potential causes of poor eating habits.

Examples of behavioural change include:

-Participating in a weight loss management programme
-Implementing measures to reduce stress levels
-Adopting new eating habits for food preparation
-Participating in a weight loss management programme

The increased production of a hormone called leptin is one reason by which obesity might decrease fertility in women. Fatty tissue, especially in the midsection, is responsible for this.

For women who are obese and experiencing infertility, weight loss surgery may be an option to explore.

During the rapid weight loss phase following bariatric surgery, it is generally not advised that patients become pregnant for at least a year.
