Question about feeding tubes

I have been thinking about feeding tubes for a while and have come to the conclusion that I think getting one would be very helpful for me. However I don’t think I met the typical criteria to get one. I am at and able to maintain a healthy weight and generally able to eat two meals a day. But doing this takes a lot of mental effort and I spend most of my time thinking about and planning for where and when and what I can eat. I think having a tube and having the option to not need to eat while still being fed would make this much easier and may make me enjoy eating more when I do so. Has anyone had a similar experience and been able to get a doctor to give them a feeding tube? Thanks for any help.
