I think it is best for you to make contact with the hospital / clinic that will be carrying out the procedure and check with them.
Hope your surgery goes well!
Good luck

  Not sure what Tylenol is? But, it is best to check with the doctor (or hospital) who are carrying out the procedure. There maybe something that they give you which could interfere with it?
  Best wishes
