Sounds like you got off easy!!!
If she is your fiancee , then it seems normal and expected.

Looks like it should add up to more dollars, so she is only making you pay partial.

How cow, she has a lot of issues going on.  You here guys on this board talking about RED FLAGS, well this is one of them.  Not so much sending $150(that is to be expected in any relationship) but the problems with the back and the little things she says she needs ie. massages etc.  She may need and expect the same treatments and medicines here as well.  And you well know it won't be $150 dollars.  You know those kind of things are inexpensive in Colombia but here it is a different story. I would strongly re-evaluate the relationship.  Because what is going on now will surely repeat itself in the future...

it doesnt sound like a lot of money, but still.... she sounds like an expensive girl to keep around. hope you make the big bucks because she sounds like she is going to be a big drain on your wallet once she gets here.

She's going to get all that done for $200-$300?  She's going to see 4 different doctors plus prescriptions and physical therapy and paint her car?  I spent about $500 getting my wife through the visa process, including some dental work.  It may not feel like it but you're getting off pretty cheap if that's all she's asking for.  Most of these girls are expert money spenders.

However, some of this sounds fishy.  It almost sounds like she wants to raise some cash and just started making a list of things that you might be willing to pay for.  You should know that massage won't cause her to lose weight, unless she's getting a very special kind of massage, and you don't want that.  I heard one gringo tell about how he paid for English lessons for his novia in Colombia and she left him for the English instructor.

A friend of mine was dating a Russian and she wanted $1,000 to get laser eye surgery.  Sucker gave her the $1,000 and she never got the surgery.  Former scam artist/comedian Harry Anderson says "A fool and his money were lucky to find each other in the first place."
