No Worries: Please consult with a local physician who will examine you, take a full medical history, and order the appropriate tests to determine what ails you. Blood tests alone may not be enough.

Weight: No worries about requesting specific tests, let your doc ask questions and get a good history and exam, make sure you mention your weight issues and your goals as well as your family history. Your doc will be able to further coordinate testing and services as needed.
