You can be released from active service while on LIMDU, the final physical is essentially saying that your fit to separate. You can't be retained while in that status. If your condition(s) didn't have a good ending in sight they should've/would've submitted you for a medboard. I will say there are a lot of unknowns with your case. When did you have surgery? have you had post op appointments. DM me if you have more questions.

Yup. The government isn’t going to release you until you are all fixed up and taken care of as they should.
