Yes you can get a stomach transplant although they are uncommon and usually done along with other organ transplants such as the pancreas or intestines.

∙ 14y agoYes, the stomach can, and often is, transplanted. It has been observed, however, that a person's behavior is subject to change if stomach is transplanted.

Did a pig stomach ever get transplanted into a human?
There is no evidence supporting a procedure where a pig's stomach was actually transplanted into a human. However, there is research going on involving a procedure like this.

Stomach's are not generally transplanted, since it is possible to live without them.
Can chrysanthemums be transplanted?
Yes they can be transplanted.
Is liver can be transplanted?
Yes, livers can be transplanted.
How many different types of transplants are there?
Routinely transplanted organs are: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, small intestine and cornea. Other transplants are available, but are not routine. Some organs are just not routinely transplanted because you can live without them, e.g stomach, bladder, spleen, colon etc... (Yes, you can live without your stomach, it's only the small intestine which is necessary for food absorption.)
Is it possible to transplant any organ?
Hearts, liver, kidneys, lungs, small intestine, pancreas, corneas, heart valves. Some other things have been transplanted (both successfully and unsuccessfully), but typically only "life saving" organs are routinely transplanted.
Where to get stomach transplant?
Its like any other transplant you hear of, except with a stomach. Doctors surgically remove your stomach and replace with another healthier one.
What is the state motto for Connetict?

Which part of a donors's eye can be transplanted in other's?
The cornea is the normally transplanted part of the eye.
Which organs of the body can't be transplanted?
Just to clarify your question, if the organ cannot be transplanted there is no "recipient", since nobody receives the organ. The brain is not transplantable in humans. It has been performed in labs on animals, with mixed outcomes. However in humans it is unclear whether there are any medical conditions which would actually benefit from a 'brain transplant', let alone other ethical questions of performing such a procedure. The large intestine is not commonly transplanted because it is not necessary to sustain life (however it is medically possible). Likewise, the stomach, gall-bladder and appendix are not necessary for survival.
What does Qui translulit sustinet mean?
He who transplanted still sustains
Can the brain be transplanted?
no
