jason_paloalto's experience with Small molecule vs peptide resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I had more GI issues initially. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 57 lbs in 12 months.
One thing I would add that jason_paloalto did not mention: insurance coverage was a major hurdle.

Clinical perspective on Small molecule vs peptide GLP-1 agonists:
I have managed over 200 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.
For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.
