Welcome to OCF Tom

Sorry to hear about your PEG problems. They are very common, (although you would never know that from all the rah rah posts.) I've posted these links before and gotten lots of good thanks yous for it. While the Oley Foundation can never replace OCF as a support group, it does face up to the facts about feeding tubes.
Here are some helpful tips that the doctors should have given you but in my experience they don't even know about

I've been stubborn and not switched out to the "button" instead of the "swinging cat tail tube" so I just tuck the tube into the waistband of my boxer shorts.
I hope your TX goes well. Keep eating by mouth as long as you can and even when you do use your PEG, keep practicing swallowing.
