How do you know the sleeve is going to work? No long term data!

Today I chose the sleeve. I'm hoping for a surgery date around the end of next month. I've decided that if I can get where I need to be without the complications of bypass, I will do the sleeve. However, the fact that the sleeve lacks long term data worries me. Is the plan for most of you to lose the weight then maintain? How do we know this will last? I hate hate hate not having the guarantees that the bypass has. How much weight can I expect to lose if I'm 240, 5'4" and 25lbs?

What about the sleeve has made you choose this over the bypass?
