How can you digest and eat food if your stomach is removed by gastrectomy?
After gastrectomy, the small intestine is connected directly to the esophagus to allow digestion to occur. Although the capacity for food intake may be reduced, the body can still absorb nutrients through the small intestine. Nutrient absorption may be maximized through dietary modifications and potentially with vitamin supplements.
Can a human stomach grow back?
The human stomach does not regenerate or grow back in the same way some organs do.

Healing occurs, but the lost capacity and structure are permanent.
