Concerned - 9 months out and positive pregnancy test
I'm just over 9 months out from RNY and was a day late,
so I went ahead and did a pee test. It came out positive.
We were using preventatives, but it still happened. We
are excited b/c we tried for 2 years and were never able
to conceive, but now freaked out b/c I'm not even a year
out of surgery. I will be calling my doctors in the morning.
I ended up doing three tests total b/c I was in disbelief.
Is it possible to have a healthy pregnancy at this stage?

Congrats on ur BFP! And yes you can have a healthy pregnancy only 9 mos out of ur WLS. It may take you being a little more rigorous with your vites and dr's appts. But many women on this board got pg while using contraceptives less than a year post-op. I'm not one of them, but many women here are.
You'll be fine. Make sure your OB understands a RNY pregnancy and has experience with it. If he/she doesn't you might want to ask your bari surgeon for a recommendation of an OB who does.
