After colonoscopy completed - question about stool

I had a colonoscopy done today.  My prep was movi prep that I followed to a "T".  After the procedure was done, the doc told me that I had 2 polyps that were very small, they were removed and being biopsied.  He was not concerned about them but did have pre-cancerous polyps removed 3 years ago.  He did not say my prep was bad or that he had any problems.  However, this afternoon I was still passing air, fluid and twice had some solid stool come out.  Do you think this is a problem?   I feel fine but worried that since I had some solid stool, although, not a lot, that the doctor couldn't see what was there.  The person next to me was told that her prep wasn't great and she had areas that couldn't be seen

Normally they will tell you if you're not cleaned out completely. Since you do develop polyps I would call your GI doc and just ask if he was able to view the colon without any problems.  This will ease your mind.  I would think your doctor would be very cautious under the circumstances, and let you know if he wasn't able to see the colon clearly.
The air and liquid is normal, and it may be that you had some stool higher up where the scope doesn't go.  But call your doctor and get reassurance on this, if only for your peace of mind.  Take care.
