Help! New to Area Tacoma
I just moved here from california and can't figure out how to find a support group, where i might learn where to get a new PCP, or checkups etc. I am one year out on Nov. 1, 120 lbs gone, still not at goal, I think I still need post care. I have an appointment in my old home town but I am going to cancel. Maybe they can tell me where to get hooked up here. Does any one here know?
