i forgot to add "sarcasm" sign to the end of my post. However, I agree with you, there is fitting and fitting. (I personally have mixed results from fitting)
But as you can see the thread is going in the wrong direction. Everyone is sharing their own experience, which has nothing to do with OP problem. For example, we can be the same height and weight, ride the same bicycle size, but you have wider shoulders, or shorter neck, so the bars that work for you will be completely wrong for me. (and here is another issue - how to measure the shoulders width or neck length
)
Sorry, I now understand what you meant.
It does seem though that your experience with fitters seems to echo the pattern that I've seen over the years...mixed results. But like we both have said the OP should go back to the fitter and have the bar issue addressed. And since he was there before for a fitting they should not charge him for a second fitting, their suppose to make the fitting right so they only thing they should charge him for is a new bar which I'm not so sure he needs but I'm not him.
I've done all my own fittings on all my bikes with never an issue...but in to be honest my body is not particular as long as it's close, and once you figure out how to do your own fitting it gets easier with each proceeding bike. I have bikes with narrow, equal to shoulder width, and wide bars, and my body just doesn't seem to care nor do I notice anything other then my experience that the bike with the narrow bars is a bit more twitchy then the bike with the widest bar, but that was deemed incorrect by another poster.
