I seriously doubt that he will move on Gay Marriage, abortion, or have any complete bans on any specific people from entering the country.  I do expect him to put the brakes on immigration, allow border enforcement, halt all incoming refugees until they are vetted.  That is just my opinion, and we all know how much that counts for.

HCR is going to be tricky. Really, what they've discussed hasn't been much for replacing, just repealing. Which is going to put us back on the same problematic path as before, steadily increasing costs as hospitals and providers try to recoup unpaid services, which leads to more unpaid services because people can't pay the higher costs.

I doubt he does anything with gay marriage, and Congress won't touch abortion. As much as they bang that drum at election time, they want nothing to do with passing anything related to abortion. And I don't think Trump is going to make it part of his agenda. 

My guess with immigration bans will be the previous approach which is to just tie up ICE more or reduce staff so that there's less legal immigration going on. Refugees are already heavily vetted (both by our own government and the UN), so that's not really been the issue.
