I'm 18 years old and I'm 430lbs. Wear a 3xl shirt and a 26 pants. I'm thinking of getting the sleeve but I'm terrified. I've seen photos and videos of people who've lost the ammo it I'm supposed to lose (around 130lbs) and they look terrible. I'm proud of them for being confident and stuff with the skin and what not. But I've dealt with self esteem problems my whole life. And I know if I lose my beasts and my thighs and stomach will be saggy it Will hurt my self esteem even more. Is there anything I can do to help my chest and thighs stay they way they are. My chest is about a 44E and my thighs aren't that big. I'm not that huge, my stomach is the biggest part on my body. It isn't round of sitting up high it's kinda like a pouch that hangs I plan on walking about 2 miles a day 7 days a week and about 70 squats a day along with other cardio. I don't have money for any reconstruction. I can deal with a little sagginess in my stomach because it kinda sags now. I just don't want to have booby down to my belly button or flat chested and I really don't want my thighs looking like candles. I was looking into the lap band and seeing if that's better than the sleeve for this. But I'm so confused. I don't wanna sound like a bad person, I just don't want to be more depressed than I am. And, do you lose weight not doing anything or do you have to work out ect. I was wondering because I wanted to see if it was possible for me to stop losing when I needed/wanted. Do squats and running and cardio help with gaining lean thighs and a butt. Or will I lose everything.

Thanks everyone. I didn't wanna sound stubborn with asking, I just already have so many mental illnesses because of my body. I was so focused on the negative of the situation I didn't realize how happy I'd be to get to do more things. I was just afraid to think of not wearing shorts or tank tops again. But, I'll work out everyday and do what I can to make it the best I can. I wasn't worrying about losing some of my boobs and stuff like that I've just seen so many photos of people who have lost less than me and regret it because of the way they look. I am going to get the sleeve because a lot of people say whomever gets the band these days are wackjobs.
