Can you untack a belly button from the muscle wall? I can't stand straight and I'm being pulled down/head over heels.

TT 4.5 yrs ago, no pregnancies, no hernia, only mild weakness at belly button, Dr said mesh would have dissolved, no clue why used, feel off balance bc of bb pulling down, feel like I'm going to fall over, its always been like that, Dr wouldn't acknowledge anything wrong, my abdominal wall feels too short relative to my back, feel crunched in the middle, bb felt/feels very pushed in relative to the rest of my midline, highly distressed, lost most of my flexibility, nothing helps.
