Fit, if that is what you want to do...DO IT. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
My best friend's Mom had it done in July and she looks fabulous!!! Another friend of mine did it and lost 80 pounds in 3 months!

She couldn't be happier.
I think the consultation is a great idea. They will give you a lot of info on the whole procedure and then you can decide if it's right for you.
