Surprisingly, yes, you can live without your stomach. In cases like stomach cancer, severe ulcers, and the like, all or a large part of the stomach may need to be removed. During such a gastrectomy, the esophagus is connected to the small intestine. Eventually, your system adapts, although you are probably going to have to adjust your diet.
