How can I put my mom's mind at ease?

I am my mom's primary caregiver - my only other family lives in another state. She's my biggest cheerleader as far as this surgery goes, but of course, since I am her "baby" and have never had any major surgery or illness before, she's understandably afraid for me. She knows the facts of obesity first hand (she's a dialysis patient due to high blood pressure and diabetes related to obesity), but still she's worried. Any pearls of wisdom I can share with her to put her at ease? Oh, and me too while you're at it. My surgery is in 5 days and I'm finally getting nervous!!! Thanks in advance.
