I am very discouraged because I do love the shape he gave me but my tummy and belly button are not the best. I have loose skin and fat and my belly button has a strong smell every other day. Why is my tummy divided like this..? Is it inflammation..? I also have some itching all over my body that comes and goes does it have anything to do with my surgery.. Did I ruin my results in any way..? Weight before surgery was 169.8lbs current weight is 143.6lbs.. 5’2... 25yrs old

It would be better to have your HgbA1c to be lower in order to keep your risk lower. Diabetics are at higher risk for complications such as poor wound healing and infection. These risks increase when blood glucose levels are not tightly controlled.
Arnica is used to help reduce bruising. It doesn't really address recovery in terms of improved healing or comfort. I would recommend a healthy balanced diet rich in proteins. Any supplements or medications should be discussed with your surgeon.
For an elective cosmetic surgery, I would not recommend surgery for that length of time. Most plastic surgeons limit surgery to around 6 hours to limit risks. It would be safer for you to stage your surgeries into 2 or 3 different operations. Discuss with your plastic surgeon your options...
