I would like to start by saying thank you to Richard Meryhew, Glenn Howatt and Jeff Wheeler for taking the time to bring this to the public. I wish I'd have had this information before I allowed JPW to operate on me, maybe my life would have been alot different. I know I would be alot healthier. I did learn something that I didn't know before and that was that he said I was somehow to blame for my out come. I could go on to say alot but it wouldn't solve any of my problems so whats the point. I just hope that others will see your work on these doctors(if you can call them that) and do back ground checks. Ask questions and expect answers and if you doubt those answers go for another opinion. Ask your family and friends if they have used or heard anything on the doctor your thinking of. My heart goes out to all of the others who have had their lives ruined as I have from a so called MISTAKE! Thanks again for all of your work and to Jeff Wheeler for not cringing when you asked for pictures of my stomach. Its hard not to feel ugly and deformed even when it is my husband seeing my stomach. You made me feel comfortable and understood.
