Mistakenly taking Asprin five days before surgery
I am supposed to have surgery tomorrow and just reading the form. Maybe I read it already and wasn't paying attention, but it says no asprin two weeks prior to surgery and I took two five days ago. I don't know what to do. Did anyone do this?

I would call your doctor. The reason they say no aspirin is because it thins your blood, and you risk excessive bleeding during the surgery.

Mistakenly taking Asprin five days before surgery
I am definitely no doctor but I would be surprised if taking just two five days ago would have any effect. That is not much.
I recently had a procedure and wasn't supposed to take aspirin or ibuprofen for several days. Of course I forgot and ended up taking ibuprofen the very night before. They weren't concerned at all and it had no effect. Obviously I'd mention it, but I think they will say it's fine. Good luck!

Similar. I am sure it's fine but call dr. to let them know and ask. I took 2 days before colonoscopy for a migraine, forgetting I wasn't supposed to but they said not to worry.
