Is it possible to live without a stomach?

Absolutely: Dietary changes and vitamin/mineral supplementation are needed, and a visit with a dietician familiar with gastrectomy is an important part of coping with gastrectomy (surgical removal of stomach).

Yes but: You will need life long supplement of vitamin b 12 injected or sublingual and possibly iron supplement too. They both have to be monitored.
