you shouldn't be taking anything before surgery, really. But I am fairly sure Vitamin C won't thin your blood. It's a water soluble vitamin, which means you can take much more than your daily recommended dose without any problem. Your body simply removes excess and you waste it in your urine. Aspirin, however, is a blood thinner, so don't take any of that.

vitamin c is good for your immune system to ward of colds but it does not thin the blood .IF you have surgery tomorrow ,then the doctor already told you what you can take and what not

No it does not effect blood clloting. Infact it helps in wound healing.
