Question about lab tests, post surgery ?

I am 7 months post surgery.  Doing great, 6 pounds away from 100 pounds gone!  Happy camper for sure.  I have only had labs done once by my surgeon right after surgery.   I see my PCP this Thursday and will have labs done.  What exactly should be checked?  My co-morbidities were high blood pressure and high cholesterol, pre surgery. Are there special tests run for sleevers?  

Hopefully my PCP will know, but figured the wonderful vets here could give me an idea of what's usually checked.

Thanks!

you could have your pcp talk to your surgeon

but checking b12 , iron calcium, a1c, cholesterol, triglycerides, are normal

Thank you for responding.  My surgeon and PCP are in different networks so its a little complicated to get them communicating.  The surgeons office is supposed to forward info but it doesn't always work out.

I will definitely be taking a list with me just in case.

Thanks, Grim... that is a really comprehensive list.   I might need a transfusion to get that much blood!  Great info.
