I would prefer to try to get everything done at one time, address the break through afib and closing the LAA

Losing the LAA May Worsen Blood Pressure
The LAA also has a high concentration of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) granules which help to reduce blood pressure.6 Some preliminary research indicates that when the LAA is closed or cut off, the Right Atrial Appendage produces more ANF to compensate for the lost of the LAA.

Having a Watchman doesn’t necessarily guarantee coming off a blood thinner or does it??

why would Afib-com publish it then? It's not a YouTube source.

No, it does not.
There are many reasons why it might not but they're all patient-specific. For example, if you have a high CHADS-Vasc score, your risk of clots from other sources may be too high for you to stop. Or maybe you have valve issues, or peripheral vascular disease so you're prone to forming clots in your legs, or a dozen other possibilities.
But if you have a fairly low CHADS score and afib is your only risk factor for blood clots, then a Watchman will allow you to come off anticoagulants.

Have had a TIA and have a couple leaky valves. So, I’m thinking that may put me outside the box.

I'm afraid it might. Way above my pay grade to say yes or no, but a prior TIA and valve issues make coming off an anticoagulant difficult.
Keep in mind that you can take NSAIDs while on an anticoagulant, just not for prolonged periods. The general advice I've heard is one week. So you could probably do something like taking NSAIDs for a week, then stop for a week or two, then do another week. Obviously, you need some medical guidance on this but wouldn't one week out of three at least give you some relief?
