DQ at MEPS and note about recruiter?

I went to MEPS this past week to join the Air Force. On my pre-screen, my recruiter told me to put "no" for having bronchitis unless I was hospitalized and "no" for mole removal surgery since I was so young. When I got to MEPS I put yes for both on the official form b/c I wasn't sure if I ever had bronchitis so I put yes to be safe. I also put yes to mole removal surgery b/c the MD noticed it right away anyway. She temporarily DQ'd me and told me to bring back medical records. I went down to Air Force office and the officer told me that I couldn't process any further. I wrote a letter, partly out of anger and to save my own that the recruiter had told me to put no for both instances and that I wanted to be honest about the medical history. My recruiter received the note and is not happy. He said now they are looking at it as a moral issue that I ratted him out and he is family and I'm an outsider. I have medical records for non-cancerous moles and a letter from my doctor stating I never had bronchitis. What are my chances of getting back up to MEPS? I have never done drugs nor have I been in any trouble. I also have a B.A. degree. Is my recruiter blowing this way out of proportion? He said he would try to take care of the situation. I just don't want something so trivial to ruin my career in the Air Force. Thanks to all who reply.
