How big does a hernia have to get before a doctor will repair it and do most surgens remove the skin at the same time? I have an appt on thur and not sure what to expect.

Yes you can have a panni or tummy tuck at the same time as you have a hernia repaired, my husband had his done (panni and hernia) last July. I cannot diagnose you as to how big a hernia needs to be before it is repaired. That is something only your doctor can answer for you.

Thank you, I go this Thursday to see the doctor. It's about the size of a small mellon right now!
