I had an extended tummy tuck and Lipo of hips and outer thighs and a fat graft in buttocks on 7/27/15. My recovery was going fine until Friday I began to feel nauseous. My nausea has continued to worsen over the past few days and now I can't take a sip of water without feeling like I may throw up. I am taking Percocet for pain and vitamins in the morning and evening, these also make me feel ill. I also am taking arnica for bruising and swelling. I need to know if my nausea is a sign of infection?

Is a great concept and explained well by my colleagues. It is something I use routinely and can create much more aesthetic belly buttons when there isn't a lot of laxity above your belly button. The float should be limited to about an inch lower than where your anatomically are...
It appears you have either superficial or deep tissue injury to your belly button area. Don't despair though! It make take longer to heal, you may have to do some vigorous wound cleaning and care for awhile but in the end your belly button should look very nice despite these early problems...
