Here are some options: If bleeding risk is high and clotting risk is not high Stop the blood thinners before surgery and start them after surgery has passed. The trick is to know when to stop the blood thinner and when to start it again. Not all blood thinners are the same. Typically stop Warfarin 5 days before surgery.
When should I Stop Blood Thinners Before Surgery? Like I said before, stopping blood thinners before surgery needs to be done safely. If you are on a blood thinner, that means you need your blood thinned. If you stop the blood thinners that can increase the risk for clots. But if you continue to take the blood thinner, the risk of bleeding goes up.

Comments
OK, big problem: Never, ever, ever take Advil and Tylenol together! Ever! Tylenol is Acetaminophen, it's a blood thinner. Advil is Ibuprofen, it's an anti-inflammatory that will also irritate your stomach lining. So between the two, you'll end up with a bleeding ulcer. I think the standard recommendation is to separate them by at least twelve hours, though I just stick to one. So unless you're TRYING to mess Hayley up even worse than she already is (bruised, battered, hung over), PLEASE stick to one or the other.
PS: Yes, this is a pet peeve. Yes, I've personally had a problem with both drugs. Google it if you don't believe me.
