Phone the hospital and ask. I suspect coming off the blood thinners so soon after your stenting would be considered high risk, as would operating while on two blood thinners.

I was in a similar situation and the outcome was not to operate until after 6 months where I could stop one blood thinner before the op. As it happened my circumstances changed before that time.
