Have no insurance... HELP

Hello everyone, I live in TX and I have no insurance and can't get insurance because of my weight. I don't work because I am a full time student. I have BMI around 54 (last I checked) and I am wanting to have WLS. Other than self pay are there any options out there for me? I was told I could try and get on disability but I have no clue how to go about doing that. I was also told to go to Mexico because it would be a lot cheaper and its just as safe as having it done in the US.

I am going to school to become a teacher and would love to have the surgery before I go into student teaching and residency. I don't want any of the TX school districts looking at my weight and come to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my students.

Any help or info would be great....
