Liposuction to Remove Fat During Hernia Repair?

Carole 1949
I have a huge ventral hernia with bowel involvement. This is the 3rd repair, due to weak abdominal wall and excess weight from inactivity. I can't wait to loss weight; it's painful and needs repair now. Can Liposuction be done to take away some fat during surgery, to help lessen protrusion after the procedure?
