What are the lifestyle changes with permanent G-Tube?

Due to the beginnings of possible silent aspiration events and possible aspiration events during eating, what are lifestyle changes like if I were to need a permanent G-Tube. What are the pluses and minuses? What is life like with a G-Tube?
I have not had aspiration pneumonia at this point and am eating regular meals. I eat things that are easy to eat. Also, what are your suggestions for preventing the need to go the G-Tube route? What has worked and what hasn’t worked to prevent going down this route?
I appreciate learning from your experiences.
Thank You,
Phil
