    Yes, Alan is correct. Only the Korean version has been published, titled “Goodbye Hernia”. Dr. Kang gives gives all of his patients a signed copy of the book. The english version is not yet in final form for publication.

    If anyone is interested in reading more about lipomas, here are a few links:

    I’ll post another update on my recovery in the next few days. I’ve got some burning and itching in the numb areas so hopefully that’s a sign the nerves are coming back to life.

    One other suggestion. While I checked my suitcase in Seoul, I forgot that my additional backpack probably weighed 20+ pounds. It was very difficult to walk while wearing at Incheon airport and the distances to the departure gates can be far. I would recommend having very little and very light hand luggage for your return journey.
