Does anyone have advise on assuring my children that I am not going to die ?

I have 2 sons who have know me as obese all of their lives. My first husband died at age 31 suddenly, and now they are afraid I am going to die with this surgery? How can I assure them, if I don't have the surgery I am going to die. They are 13 and 15 years of age, the 13 year old is afraid I won't be funny anymore.He cries and doesn't want me to have the surgery which is in 2 weeks....HELP
