Many!: You may tear your esophagus and have profuse bleeding. You may get electrolyte imbalance and have heart trouble (remeber terri schivabo, her troubles started with self induced vomiting). You may develop nurtitional deficiencies that may be worse than being oveweight. What is your weight? Consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
