I don't think that Second link is mainly about death caused by LL. The man who died had heart attack. He had unilateral lengthening and his death happened after consolidation period of his right /left leg

I wonder if keeping cholesterol and blood pressure in check and in good health before getting the surgery will increase the chances of you coming out unscathed as far as FE and blood clots go

@tiger9898: second is actually a clear cut case of fat/pulmonary embolism.

But dear you have to keep it like this for 6 months with no physical activity allowed... Isn't it difficult to maintain?

I suppose a proper diet could help. So this means it might be slightly more expensive when choosing your own foods but if it means no embolism or clot then i'm fine with it.
