Is there a good soap to shower with before leaving for the hospital?

I've read other posts about people who used special antibacterial soaps to shower with before they left for their surgery? Is this necessary? My surgeon didn't mention this and I am wondering if I should pick up anything. Would an antibacterial bath soap be beneficial after I come home from the hospital? My surgery is Monday, so I'd have to add it to my last minute shopping list. Thanks everyone!
