Help, my eight year old is very nervous, what are some good things to tell him?

I need some help here. I am going for surgery on October 8th and the closer I get the more nervous my son gets. He is eight years old and has had to deal with the death of both my parents only a few years ago and they were very close. He is worried I will die in the hospital. I have tried to assure him every thing will be ok. But he is still worried. Please help.
