Shelling could be an option, but it is still a solid body of a small thickness.
To create a surface body, use the "Offset Surface" command to make a copy of it selecting all tangent surfaces, and set the offset distance to zero. Use the "delete body" command and select the solid body to remove the solid body leaving only the surface body remaining.
If the holes where created before the surface body, the holes should be present in the surface body. I suspect this is the case, and now you wish to extrude the cut-out created by the hole.
Try using a ruled surface, and select the edge from the cut-out of the hole. This will extrude the hole surface. You will need to experiment with the type (Normal to surface, Perpendicular to vector, sweep, etc.) to get the desired results for orientation and direction.
