This decision will be up to the anesthesiologist. Usually we recommend that you stop aspirin two weeks or so before surgery. However, baby aspirin alone is a very small dose and is unlikely to cause bleeding during surgery. However, some doctors will be cautious and not do surgery anyway in a situation like yours. You need to call your surgeon and ask him/her if they will operate even though you just stopped the aspirin.
