Possible hernia, I am still 40lbs. from goal, can I have tummy done?

Hi, I am down 150lbs. sitting at 202 (I started at 352). I noticed for a while that I seemed to have an uncomfortable bulge when I coughed (hurt badly when I had bronchitis and coughed constantly) now it seems to be the size of a fist..I am going to see my RNY Dr. next week...I want to discuss with him getting my TT done at the same time, is it too soon since I am still 52lbs. from my goal weight? I am being realistic that I might not get to that goal weight, I have lost 50% of my previous body weight and have been "stuck" at this weight for almost the last 2 months despite working out 3 - 5 days a week...also being that I am in decent physical shape can I expect a quicker recovery. I am terrified of going through pain again...HELPPPPP!!
