What are the chances of death during/ after surgery?

I have been excited and anxious about having my gastric sleeve surgery this Thurs Mar 25th, 2010. All of a sudden today I haven been getting nervous. I have a wonderful husband and 3 sons. What are the chances of dying during surgery? Is it really 2%... gosh that may even be too high?! gosh... am I getting cold feet? is that normal?
