I just found out I have a hernia 4 months out of surgery. What now?

I had the open RNY Jan 11. I'm now out about 4 months and just found out I have a hernia right by my belly button and next to my incision. How long do i have till I get it fixed and can it be done laproscopicaly? My Dr is about 8 hours from my home and I will be calling him. I would like to hear from people who may have gone through this and can offer some advice. Will it get worse? I only have ins. for 12 more months so will need to get it done before it runs out. I still have a lot to lose and don't think I can lose it all before the ins is up. Thanks
