I went to the doctor to find out if i can also lipo my back and the doctor told me no. He said that once you get a tummy tuck the oxygen flows from the back and if i do that at the same time it can kill the skin. He said if i would be doing lipo on my legs or another area thats diffrent. Has anyone else been told this?

i finally had my tummy tuck last thursday. wow was that painful, start off by the first day in the hospital all they would give me is 2cc of morphine every hour and it would not take away the pain till i had to yell at the nurse to call my doctor and change the medicie. Ok they changed it and i felt a littler better and was released the next day. What a trip home i cried all they way. Saturday i felt better and then sunday i started to smel something extreamly bad. I went to the doctor today and they put me on yet another antibiotic. when the doctor took of my dressing i almost passed out the smell was beond imaginable. My belly button was pouring yellow and black fluid. i dont know what to do this is horrible oh amd i come to find out i am allergic to surgical tape. I have blisters by my wounds and blisters on my wound. The smell is so bad i dont know whta to do or how long it will take to stop smelling i go back to work in 6 days and i can not go to work if i smell the way i do. i have to say my doctor is a good doctor but i am so worried about this also i can not find anything online of someone saying this same thing happened and what was the out come. Please help me.
