Currently, full stomach transplants have been performed (successfully) but as far as I'm aware, "partial" ones have not been performed. This may be because (as strange is it may seem), you can live without your stomach. It is your small intestine which is completely and utterly necessary for food absorption, but with a few eating and dietary changes it is completely possible to live a normal life without your stomach. (Your food would go straight from your oesophagus to your small intestine, so chewing well and eating small amounts would be crucial to prevent feeling nauseous/uncomfortable).
