Yes you can survive without most of your small bowel and all of your large bowel. Nutrients are absorbed in the small bowel but you can survive with just part of it intact. People have surgery resulting in ileostomy (where the remainder of the small bowel is bought onto the surface). Waste products are then discharged into a bag attached to the surface of the abdomen.
