Patient Stories

Nikki has helped me realise that food is not my enemy but my friend, and good for my body. I have been on this journey for a year and have lost over 50 kg’s with her help and support. I have learnt the power of moderation and that portion control and nutritional value both play an important part in losing weight and staying healthy. There have been times that I have been disheartened and times I felt I have fallen of the wagon. During these times Nikki has been there to support me and she has always been a phone call or an e-mail away and her advice has always been spot on. It’s a lifestyle choice and not a diet. This is one of the most important lessons I have learnt.

Bariatric patient, September 2009

I had suffered with diarrhoea for over 20 years and had almost become house-bound, any trip away from my home had the potential to cause me embarrassment and I had lost the desire to be sociable. I had a chance referral to see Nikki Cummings in February 2008 to discuss another health issue, however, Nikki took a very detailed medical history and we ended up talking about my concerns. Following some nutritional advice from Nikki I now no longer suffer with chronic diarrhoea and as a bonus I have started my weight loss journey. I have even become more sociable and I recently went on my first holiday with my husband in over 8 years.
