Bananas have potassium so yes, you can get too much potassium if you eat more than 6 a day.

Not that I know of. They do help your potassium, if you have kidney problems then I know you shouldn't eat banana's. I know that because My brother had kidney problems and he was not allowed banana's but he did sneak around and eat my Child's baby food banana's

It's got good vitamins, minerals and even fiber. There shouldn't be a problem. If you are craving it, maybe your body is low on something that bananas provide, like zinc. (You can tell you need more zinc if you have little white marks on your nails.) I would say, go with the craving and have some, within reason. 6 or less a day, maybe, sounds good to me.

I've found bananas to be a fairly timid fruit, however, they can get rather nasty when they're slightly wounded so I would suggest eating a whole one in one sitting.

Actually asked the doctor this, when my son started eating many a day. The answer is its fine, if it doesn't bind your bowels too much. (Even then its fine, just uncomfortable.)
