This may seem extreme, but a colostomy would solve your problem. You would be more independent and could travel whenever you wanted.

My step father lived with a colostomy for his last 30 years. I had a temporary colostomy for 90 days after my surgery. There are a lot of things I will try before I elect to return to a colostomy.
For example, wearing Depends full time would be preferable to me and I am not there yet. As a full time flight attendant, my lifestyle is constant travel and not being bathroom dependent when dealing with passengers or crew members. I have made progress over the last 10 years but am not where I want to be.
