Is Morbid Obesity a legal disability?

I was getting information on applying for SSI and Vocational Rehab and I didn't see it listed as an actual disability, just the side effects of it. I think it may be the only way to pay for my surgery, since I am currently umemployed. Will it matter if I am going through bankruptcy right now? Or that my truck was recently reposssed? Or that I had to move back home with my parents? Or that the reason I quit my last job was anger and frustration (although my limitations were part of it)? {grumble} I could really use some advice. -Heidi McChristian (22 yrs, 5'6" 310 lbs)
