What tests were recommended/preformed on you at your 6 month (or so) follow up visit?

I was self-pay, so all of my tests come out of my pocket, UNLESS they can be recommended for other reasons in advance, and I forward the information to my doc.

I have an idea of a few tests, because my doc told me they were the standards, but I wonder if there are others that I should consider, if for no other reason than I may need them later for comparison, should something really go wrong.

Opinions, please - chime in!
