Need Nurse: TT soon: Phentermine: cardiomyopathy

I would like to have a nurses' point of view. Its no secret that I have cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of just 34%. I am looking into having a tummy tuck around April or May. I have lost 83lbs and only 27 more pounds to go until I reach my goal. I want to lose as much weight as possible before the tummy tuck. I'm only losing 3-5 pounds a month at 9 months post op. I'm considering Phentermine to help me get to goal. There is NO way I would suggest this to my PCM or my cardiologist. But, I'm wanting to know what effects Phentermine would have on my heart. I can go down the street and get the diet pills, but I'd rather buy them online if anyone knows of a reputable pharmacy online that I could order them from.
