For the hospital all I took was a VERY loose fitting tshirt gown and slippers. They will have you up and walking (I did RNY). You want to be as comfortable as possible.

As far as the hair, I take Biotin vitamins. I don't know of any shampoos. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

I took more than I ever used so I recommend something comfortable to wear home.  You'll be walking and sipping more than anything then resting when you can.  I think the shampoo is called Nioxin....not overly certain I'm spelling that right.  Others on a different board said it wasn't worth the money.  I'm taking Biotin hopefully it will help start new growth before I lose a lot.

I took PJ's, slippers, and flip-flops (for the shower).  Of course your own toiletrie items.
I highly recommend taking chapstick because your mouth and lips will be VERY dry.
Your own pillow - to rest better and to hold over your stomach as a cushion on the ride home.....those little bumps in the road feel like BIG bumps after surgery. 
I also took a list of my goals and reasons for having surgery - so I could remind myself that this is worth it.
Also took a hair dryer.............have to blow out my hair else it curls up something terrible!  lol

I used a starter kit of the Nioxion shampoo, scalp treatment, and conditioner.  I also take Biotin.  I can't tell and neither can my hair stylist that I have had any thinning of my hair yet.  I am blaming the Biotin for a few stray hairs on my chin now and I am not happy about that!

Best of luck to you!
