Does anyone have any advice to put my dad's mind at ease?

I am scheduled for Lap-RNY May 29th. Yesterday my dad starts emailing me all these sad, death stories of people having WLS. He says he has a bad feeling about this. He can't believe I'd do something to cause so much stress to my body (malnutrition, infection, hair loss, possible death..). Any ideas to make him feel more at ease? He is really a sweet man, but I will always be his little girl...even though I am 32 and married.
