Amen to that. Keep in mind that changes in bike fit and geometry are measured in millimeters and centimeters. Small changes can make a huge difference, not just in comfort, but in power and efficiency. Your fitter will ideally take into consideration everything from her head down to your toes so bring your helmet and shoes with you.
Bike fitting is part art, part science. If and when you do have a chance to ride your bike after the fitting, I'd encourage you to give the fitter some feedback. You may require additonal tweaks to get the fit really dialed in, especially if you're like me and notice when even the slightest thing feels off.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
