I think you may be referring to 'Ogenki desuka?"

O = (honourific; formal)

genki = healthy, energetic

desu = (usually put after a noun, kind of like 'it is', 'he is', 'she is'. eg. "It is cold" = "samui desu")

ka = (put at the end of a sentence to make it a question. eg. It is cold = Samui desu. Is it cold? = Samui desuka?)

So your 'Ogenki desuka?" means "Are you well/healthy?"

Often said just after a greeting, sort of in part a greeting in itself.

Possible replies you could give:

I am well. "Hai, genki desu."

I am sick at the moment. "Ima byouki desu."

I am so-so. "Mama desu."

This could be followed with:

And how about you? Are you well? "(name) wa?"

eg. If Sakura asked me "ogenki desuka?" I could reply with "Hai, genki desu. Sakura wa?"
