can that be repaired?

Brief Answer:
Possible hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It sounds to me like possible ventral hernia or diastasis recti. These both are protrusion of intrabdominal content through abdominal wall. This is not serious and can be repaired surgically so you should consult abdominal surgeon about this.
Wish you good health.
