Before I was pregnant,with help of diet pills,I was 211 & BMI was38.9.

Since 1995 I have been constantly on diet pills (medically supervised ,started with Phen/Fen,then to Phentermine.The only time I am not on diet pills is when I am pregnant. At the moment I am expecting my 3rd child (July 2003)with all my pregancy,I was considered a high risk,due to gestational diabetes & high blood pressure.In 98 my gallbladder had to be removed,I was only 28 at the time. I have a copy of all my diet visits & my overall BMI is 35 & it also shows my high blood pressure.Before I became pregnant this time I was 211 with the help of diet pills,but I have reached as high as 250,and I am 5'2" & 33 yrs old now. So with a BMI thats only averaging 35 & after the baby is born I will probably get around 211(will get bigger if I don't go back on diet pills or have surgery) or so,what are my chances of getting approved?I have not asked my OB/GYN yet,I believe he will approve me,but I'm not sure.Also does anyone know the long term effects on diet pills?Thanks 4 listening.
