Are the risks of dying from RNY any higher than C-section?

This may be a silly question. I've had 2 c-sections and they went very well. My first one I was put out, and used morphine as pain reliever. I hated the morphine! My second one I had a spinal, and there was something in the spinal that kept me from being sore much at all for he entire day. I preferred that method better. I've heard that spinal blocks are much safer than using the anesthesia that puts you out. Anyway....even though I know RNY is totally different than a c section, I still wonder if fatallity risks are close to the same? I'm scheduled to have my surgery on April 12 and I am really getting scared! If I thought the risk, recovery, healing, was all similiar to a c section, I would probably relax. Does anyone know?
