* Patient has adequate organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:
1. Creatinine clearance (per Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥30 mL/min Creatinine clearance (mL/min) = ((140-age)\*wt) \* 0.85 for female/(creatinine\*72)
2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3.0 × ULN.

* Insurance approval for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) or willingness to pay out-of-pocket for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) for duration of study period
* Patients must be capable and willing to learn how to self-inject study drug, as required for this protocol (visually impaired persons who are not able to perform the injections must have the assistance of a sighted individual trained to inject study drug; persons with physical limitations who are not able to perform the injections must have the assistance of an individual trained to inject study drug) and administer study drug injection (or receive an injection from a trained individual if visually impaired or with physical limitations)
