Is This Legal???

Recently I had a job interview at a big hospital near me. The Supervisor doing the interview started talking to me (about half way thru the interview) like the job was mine, and when could I start, and were the responsibilities of the job understood, and how good I'd be in this position. During the small talk at the end of the interview, I mentioned my WLS surgery. This woman's entire demeanor changed immediately. She ended the interview like she had a fire to get to, and told me I would hear about the job within a week, either by phone or mail. Well, I never heard a word... when I called back, I was told the job was given to another candidate with better qualifications. Ok, I can handle that, but I truly believe that if I hadn't told her about my WLS, the job would have been mine. Is this legal??? Is there any way I can look at my application to see if she disqualified me because of my WLS surgery? There are more jobs available at this hospital, and I don't want to waste my time interviewing, if this woman has written something negative on my application... help!!!!!
