Yes there is a contraindication to CoolSculpting your abdomen if you have a hernia. Best of luck. 

You likely have  arectus diastsis and not a hernia.  You can get Coolsculpting on a rectus diastsis but I would consult with a board certified PLASTIC surgeon to see if a tummy tuck may be better for you.  During a tummy tuck, the rectus diastsis can be repaired.

Coolsculpting is an excellent treatment for excessive fat, but cannot be performed over hernia and is not the treatment of muscle separation after pregnancy. You may be a candidate for other cosmetic surgery procedure (such as tummy tuck) after making sure that you do not have a hernia. We routinely repair hernia during tummy tuck. The best way know your options is to book a consultation with a plastic surgeon.

It is correct that CoolSculpting should not be performed if you have a hernia In the region that is to be treated. If you have  a history of having undergone previous abdominal surgery, you should be examined by your physician who is going to perform CoolSculpting and may want to get clearance from the surgeon who performed your previous abdominal surgery.
