Dear Laura
You need to see a doctor urgently, preferably a plastic surgeon who will understand what the complications may be after a tummy tuck. If it is found that you have an infection or damage due to the surgery and procedures you were under 3 years ago, you may press malpractice charges against the doctor who performed the surgery. To do so you need to contact the Health Professionals Council of South Africa or speak to your lawyer.
For now, see another doctor and get a second opinion too.
