PANIC over the risks! Mortality Rates

I am scheduled on January 19, 2006, my husband goes on December 8, 2005. We are young, BMI in the 40s, no heart issues, no diabetes, no high blood pressure, etc. I have a slight case of sleep apnea. Now, I know, intellectually, that our risks may be lower than average. I keep seeing the mortality rates of 1 in 50, 1 in 100, 1 in 200...YIKES. Can anyone point me to information that breaks these risks down to age, morbidity, BMI levels, etc.?
