Most of the health consequences will more than likely be mental, since Anorexia is a disease of the mind, that is shown through the physical side effects. You're teeth won't go bad from the stomach acid like when someone is bulimic and puking constantly, but you'll probably have last effects, like thinking about going back to being anorexic, up to years after you're healthy again. This is different for everyone though.
