Can I get my hernia removed and still have lipo at the same time? What should I do? (Photo)

Asked By:moondrop03 in Fort Myers, FL

I already had a tummy tuck in 2013 and a revision on Sept 2014. I was making plans to have lipo sculpture done but I found out I have a hernia above my belly button. I need to have this corrected because not only that bothers me but because it hurts too and I feel a sense of fullness all the time and on top of that I get nausea. But I don't know if I can have both procedures done on the same day.
