Hi Megan,
if you are interested in this have a look at a couple of books, one called "over-coming over-eating" and the other "when women stop hating there bodies" (very cool title) - both are by the same authors and an excellent read. I can't remember the name of the authors but I am sure if you search amazon you will find them.
I tried this approach several years ago and found it very helpful, but for me my psychological drive to eat was too great. I think if you have no psych issues and you can actually stop when you are full this could be helpful. The trouble is sometimes they urge you to deliberately have a binge - as a kind of experimental exercise, and I think this would be difficult with the band and could undermine the process. Best of luck to you though, I must say I need to avoid the whole binge/shame cycle as much as possible - so even though I am not following their advice I really learnt a great deal from these books.
