ibuprofen is a blood thinner, just like aspirin and ideally should be avoided 2 weeks prior to surgery. Acetominophen (Tylenol) does not have that effect and can be taken instead.
Incorrect. After taking ibuprofen, unlike aspirin, blood platelet function returns to normal in about 24 hours. Ibuprofen should be discontinued at least 24 hours before surgery. I am a physician, and I have discovered that many surgeons are unaware of the difference between aspirin and ibuprofen with regard to platelet function.
Check with your surgeon to see when the cut off for medications will be. Generally your doctor will give you orders to be NPO (nothing by mouth) or clear liquids only beginning at midnight prior to surgery.
Obviously your doctor does not want you to be needlessly suffering before entering the hospital - if he gives the OK to take your pain medication be sure to tell your nurse and anesthesiologist the time and strength of your last dose on admission to the pre-op unit.
Generally you will get an instruction letter from the hospital telling you in advance what medications you can take prior to surgery.

Physicians are very careful about what they want their patients to consume before a surgery, and when they consume it. Not all surgeries are created equal, so it will be important for patients to ask their doctors if in their instance, it is okay to take this medicine before their procedure.
