DEXA Scan

I am having a DEXA scan done on Saturday. Has anyone on here had one?
I am pretty excited about getting the results. We constantly hear about how, it's not about weight loss but fat loss. Yet it is so difficult to accurately track fat loss. Since DEXA Scan is the new gold standard in body composition analysis, I am eager to see the results no matter how dreary and bad they may be. At least then I will be able to determine where I need to go from here.
Any comments or thoughts welcomed.

I just had one last week. I bought a follow up one too, and get a discount if I improve my BF% by enough.
