I have a 18 cm herina can this be fixed i have lost 85ils and had skin removed that is when it apeared?

Probably had it B4: You probably had the muscle defect before you lost weight. The fat acted like a plug and kept the abdominal contents from protruding through the large abdominal muscle defect. This should be able to fixed surgically. In the meantime an abdominal binder may help keep the hernia reduced. Get referred to a general surgeon. If you are still losing weight you may want to wait-check with the surgeon.
