Hi Tracy!
It's absoloutely fine to be packing now. Do anything that makes you feel good about yourself and your surgery. It is an exciting time! Also, my husband asked about what your husband asked about (wink wink) in the hospital lol! That's normal too. It took about 3 weeks for me. Before that my abdomen was just too tender. I'm sure that is an individual thing, though! Good luck with the scheduling and everything! Let me know if you need support!
