He is getting fat, eat alot and defecating 3 to 4 times a day. My question is after gathering some info I think he is a she and pregnent. If its true, what should i do? Stitches is still there. Still have appetite to eat. About 9" svl.

I am guessing it was an intestinal prolapse instead of a hemipenes prolapse. You should take her in to verify that she is gravid and check if it will complicate the prolapse treatment.
UVB during this time is crucial so I would replace the UVB bulbs and make sure you have it setup as recommended in this article: http://www.cyber-ig-info.netfirms.com/uvb_light.htm
The following article tells how to prepare for egg laying http://www.anapsid.org/iguana/egging.html

I would like to mention if she is only SVL 9" she may be too small to successfully lay eggs. Something the vet needs to eveluate. If she is gravid the vet and you may want to consider spaying.
