Hi! I Had WLS In 2001 (and My Gallbladder Removed

Hi! I had WLS in 2001 (and my gallbladder removed lapchole in 1998) and then carried triplets in 2005. I have developed a large abdominal hernia at the site where I had my open gastric bypass surgery. I used to be able to reduce it but now I cannot. I am almost always bloated and I do get that pain that comes on fast and furious several times a week. Usually it will pass in a few minutes not longer than 20 minutes(that pain). I had alot of complications with my gatric bypass and am quite fearful of having surgery in that area again!! However if I could find a surgeon that would do a tummy tuck and repair my abdominal hernia....then I might be able to find the courage to have the surgery I know I really need. Yes, I am a Nurse!!! What should I do?
