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?

It will be at GWU hospital. I haven't gotten a date yet but I'm praying for mid January. Have you had yours yet?

Not yet, I'm scheduled for December 12th at Shady Grove Adventist. I started my all liquid diet and 1 meal per day yesterday. I start my all liquids next Friday.

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.

@bonbyswife I'm kind if proud of myself for exercising restraint? Before my son it would have been MUCH different!

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
