I agree with Bubba that you should have a Pouch scope and there should be no reason to hesitate particularly if the incomplete evacuation issue persists. In my case incomplete evacuation is a sign of pouchitis and the Pouch losing its elasticity due to inflammation.

I get scoped every year for my 26 years with a J Pouch due to my dysplasia and pouchitis history. I have had Propofol (anesthesia), conscious sedation, and no sedation. All 3 options exist. I do agree the pain is minimal/tolerable as compared to the unsedated colonoscopies I had done back in the 1970s when it was believed children should never get any sedation. However I choose conscious sedation as a matter of personal preference and have my office manager drive me to and from the procedure. I think you should pursue it if the incomplete evacuation issue persists or worsens.
