I'm so pissed! 7 mos post op and now I have a hernia!

It is the size of a softball and at the top of my belly to the left of the incision.I really dont want to go through surgery again. Do you have to get all the same tests done? The ABG, and all that pulmonary testing , beforehand?What kind of "mesh" do they use? I have lost 70 lbs so far and am 30 lbs from goal.Although I would like a TT at the same time, I'm not sure insurance will cover it since the "draping" of skin is not that bad.How bad does it have to be, do you think?If there were an additional "bonus" like that to the hernia surgery,I wouldn't mind so much.
