CVS Pharmacy Vent



Recommended Posts

I just ha my BP checked at cvs so I could get a $5 off coupon. If normal is 120/80 then 117/83 is pretty decent. I'm normally at 117/74 I've never had a BP problem. The pharmacist feels the need to basically tell me the bottom number is too high be Use I'm too fat....she should thank her lucky stars that I know Jesus because I really wanted to reach across that table and slap the piss out of her!

This is why I prefer to only let my DOCTORS talk to me about my health. But in the bright side my items came up to $.29 ????????

OOHH girl you are so much better than me because I would have slapped her azz so hard she would have needed a passport and a plane ticket to get back home!!!

I had to try very hard not to go off! And I did say to her, as she was being rude, that my bottom number isn't usually that high. She kind of got pissed and slammed the bag and coupon down in the table. I just took my stuff and got my son and got out of there as fast as I could to avoid going to jail for assault! Lol

@laurenella82 I just noticed that you're in Washington DC. I live in Silver Spring, MD. When and where is your surgery?

That doesn't even make any sense a diastolic pressure of 83 isn't even "bad". She is obviously a moron, stay away from morons they will make your pressure high @@laurenella82

I am a REALLY nice person, but I can also be your worst nightmare. I would have shoved my size 7 so far up that Pharmacists ass she would have needed a proctologist to find it.

120/80 is really quite fine, but they're now considering it "high" normal and "pre-" hypertension. But that's not a reading any of my nursing colleagues or the doctors we work with would bat an eye at.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
