This issue is the only thing that stops me from actually doing LL in the future. I am sure that I actually want to do it but being unable to walk is actually a big thing. How do you believe it happens during this surgery? Is a certain type of vein cut?
Please explain if you know anything about this topic, thank you

Dying in a plane crash is even worse than those two, yet people still get on airplanes and fly. The worst case scenario of anything is always going to be horrible. Just know that the worst case is very rare.
When I was in Beijing I heard that two people had been crippled by Dr. Xia back in the 1980s. But he's had thousands of successful cases in his long career. The clinic's website says 1500 cases but that number hasn't been updated since I went there in 2007. And it was probably put up long before then. Probably 2500-3000 cases as of 2013 is more accurate. Still just two cripples.
I have no specific knowledge of the cases where people have been crippled by LL, but my guess is it would have something to do with tendon/ligament damage, or severe nerve damage. If a major artery/vein is cut then you'll die, so that's not what causes crippling.
That made me feel better, and you are right. A woman stayed paralysed in my country because she did the height surgery that's why I got concerned a bit.

"is a certain type of vein cut?"
Are you for real? I don't want to come across as hostile but you have got to be taking the piss.
Ignorant? For me to be able to go to Guichet means I am smart enough to have succeeded and have a good job. And I am a human being, of course I can be worried of being paralysed, who wants not to be able to walk again? This might seem a stupid question but it is a serious topic.

I think a consultation is something you will have to do regardless of what any of us say.
Hello short_and_depressed,
Yes, I will contact Dr. G and I am even planning on visiting him when I go to the UK after some time (maybe around 7 months). I will use the Channel Tunnel and there I will be, in France! As you mentioned, I am actually serious about this, I am going to do LL 100% I will not turn back and I always wanted to be taller since it affected me very much.
