No. : Discuss any vitamins and supplements with your surgeon. He may discontinue some of them for the surgery.

Vitamin: Actually vitamin c won't affect anesthesia at all. Honestly it's not very effective as a single agent anyways.

Don'y worry: Vitamin c does not really interfere with anesthesia. Though i would not take it on the morning of surgery as we would prefer you skip it that day. Hope that this helps.
