The classic treatment for metabolic syndrome is diet, exercise and lifestyle change. In cases where these are not sufficient, some medications and insulin therapy come into play. However, medication use along with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes achieve treatment goals in only 15-20% of type 2 diabetics. The rate of patients who can control their weight with diets is only around 2%. In other words, 98% of patients either cannot lose any weight or regain a lot of the weight they lost. As a result, the desired results cannot be achieved with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes in the treatment of obesity and type two diabetes.

Many drugs have been tried to date in the treatment of obesity. However, a truly effective obesity drug has not yet been found.

Treatment of metabolic syndrome with surgery results in extremely high success rates today. When it comes to metabolic syndrome, patients definitely have insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high body mass index, high triglycerides, low HDL-good cholesterol, and increased waist circumference. We cannot correct all mechanisms in the treatment of metabolic syndrome in surgery. We cannot change the psychological state and the diabetes in babies, which have very important effects on the course of the disease, with surgery. However, we can replace the remaining 6 mechanisms with surgery.
