If I've had a tympanoplasty within the last 120 days (and hence disqualified), but my eardrum has completely healed, I've sent in all pertinent information about the surgery as well as a letter from my doctor releasing me to full, unrestricted activity, what are my chances of my medical waiver being accepted?
 
Totally healed is a good thing. No perforations are permitted. The waiver authority will render their decision and notify you via letter. Good luck:thumb:
 
Thank you, sorry if I'm digging too much into this, but is there any reason why they could still deny me? I'm just looking for a small glimpse of certainty right now since my appointment is resting on this one thing alone, so I'm sure you can understand.
 
The certainty will come when they render their decision and not before. There is certainty that a waiver would NOT be granted for any perforations.:thumb:
 
Once again, thank you for your time and help. They've given me a better understanding of the situation. :)
 
Just for some peace of mind, and this comes with every disclaimer I can think of since I am in no way affiliated with DODMERB or have any knowledge of the waiver process...

I had a tympanoplasty in August of the year I applied, was DQ'd, sent in my medical forms after my ear had healed and was shortly qualified afterward.:thumb:

Ironically as I sit just a few months from graduation I perforated my other eardrum playing racquetball. My ears didn't want to me to get in and now they seem to not want me to get out:shake:
 
Correct.

Hopefully it will close quickly:thumb:

Thanks, this does bring some peace of mind. I'm a few months behind where you were, but this is still welcome news. :) Hope your ear heals quickly!
