2 Years Post Op-Need advice on blood work up

I'm two years post op as of May 8th. I had more energy at 319 than in the 160's! I'm so tired all the time I almost wish I were dead. I think I can't get more fatigued and yet still do. I get B-12 shots once a WEEK (not a month). I am now anemic, and have just gone from one problem to another since WLS. It just doesn't end. Plus I may have an ulcer as at times my pouch hurts, then it radiated to my back and up my chest (like an extremely bad sprain) and it is hard to breath too. Anyway, back to the fatigue,.. I will be seeing my private doctor on Tuesday (and my surgeon on May 22nd). I would like ideas for a blood test on Tuesday. I'm sure things like potassium, B-12 and iron levels, but have no idea what else I should ask for. I think I am this doctor's first and only wls patient so it may help if I can give her some ideas on what to check for. Also, people keep commenting all the time "have you lost more weight?!". And I haven't lost anything in around the last 6 months (still 30 pounds from goal and in the high OVERWEIGHT BMI range). Perhaps my perceived weight loss is because I'm losing muscle or am more sick than I realize? (I have no physical strength anymore, not that I ever had to much anyway). Anyway, I'm about at the end of my rope. There is no joy in living when you are just so bleeping tired all the time. I do one simple thing and go lay down. What a existance.
