Is it true that you cannot get CoolSculpting done if you have a hernia? (Photo)

Asked By:xodawnxo in Blairsville, GA

How would I know if I have one and what king of doc do I see to find out? I'm looking into getting Cool Sculpting done on my stomach. However, my stomach has a strange shape about it. Instead of just the belly fat that I can pinch, it is distended from the rib cage area as well. I remember being told after my last child was born (10 years ago) that my muscles separated in that area, so I really don't know who to see to find out what would be best for me. I am 39 years old, 5'11" and 157 lbs.
