First doctor appointment in years -- what general tests should I have?

I now have health insurance after a many-year break without it. I’m about to have my first appt with my new primary care doctor.
What tests do you think I should ask for?
What kinds of research can I do beforehand to get the most out of my visit?
Docs I have already seen with my new insurance are a gyn (I got normal pap results and all negative STD results) and a dentist.
I’m healthy, young and about 30 lbs overweight (BMI in the high 20s). So tests I think I should have include cholesterol levels and blood sugar level. What else?
Using Fluther
