Looking For Stats on Pulmonary Embolisms

I think I made a mistake by reading the memorials. Now I got myself scared...I know that with any surgery you take the risk of dying, But what are the real risks of dying after wls? I haven't even had my first consult yet (it's in May) but just from reading them I got shakey. I read most of those deaths were from Pulmonary embolisms. What are the chances of those happening?
