We are located in Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex, convenient to customers South of London and East of Southampton. For long-distance travellers, the clinic is reasonably convenient to Gatwick airport.

The clinic opened in January 2008 and is run by Dr. Kai Rabenstein and his wife Jacqueline. Kai is an experienced anaesthetist (graduated from medical school 1990) working in a senior position in critical care medicine and pain management in the NHS. Jacqueline is a satisfied AGB patient herself and has extensive professional experience and knowledge of the NHS and surgical matters.

The clinic has been set up because we realised that despite rapidly growing numbers of AGB patients, post-operative follow-up and aftercare can be difficult to arrange. Patients face difficulties getting sufficient band fills to enable them to achieve the desired weight loss, get charged steep fees for fills, and struggle to get emergency appointments when their gastric restriction is excessive (i.e. needs to be relieved by a partial unfill).

We aim to make AGB fill adjustment services, accompanied by sound advice, both easily accessible and affordable.

The clinic is open most Saturday mornings by previous appointment; however in case of emergency (i.e. if excessive restriction necessitates  a defill) appointments may  be made during weekdays and at short notice.
