In my own practice you'd be permitted to return to a sauna as soon as the sutures will remove. However the only opinion that matters is that of your surgeon.
Lack of cleanliness, and hot temperatures of the sauna can expose you to burns if you lack sensitivity and to infection if your incisions have not healed. I generally ask patients to avoid public bathing options for at least six weeks. Ask the plastic surgeon who performs your TT for advice as he or she will know how your scar tissue is healing.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having. If you are not improving return to the ER for further testing and treatment. Contact your surgeon in the DR for guidance. You may have difficulties finding a board certified plastic surgeon here willing to take you as a patient.
At one and a half years post op you are seeing your final results. If you are still experiencing swelling it is likely not associated with your tummy tuck or liposuction but may instead be GI related. If so visiting with a gastroenterologist may be helpful.
