Is Hashimotos Thyroid Disease considered a qualification?

I have Hashimotos Thyroid Disease. This is when my own Thyroid makes antibodies to destroy its self. It is now non-functioning as I am on tyroid replacement. My thyroid values are normal with medication. I will become hypo thyroid if stopped and will have to take it for a lifetime. Could this be listed as a good reason to have WLS. I have gained alot of weight from this condition that seems to be stuck for good & keeps increasing. I am 100 lbs over, BMI at about 35-36.
