Have Danlos Syndromea And With Scoliosis. Pelvic Unstable And Having Back Pain. Would An Abdominaoplasty Alleviate The Pain?

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and was born with scoliosis. I have had many successful surgeries on various body parts, 6- child births, 2- C-sections, sinus surgery,3- rhinoplasty, tonsillectomy, Hysterectomy, 2- bunionectomies, Anterial cervical discectomy with fusion. 3- Uretherial dilitations..
My pelvis is unstable and my lower back is in constant pain. I was advised by a top neuro surgeon in Chicago,Il that my back could not withstand the surgery it needs and I would not make it thru surgery. Something about a 9 disc fusion with rods. I also have degenerative disc disease. Would an abdominaoplasty help with back support and alleviate the pain?
