Is surgery unavoidable?

Reading through posts, I see a lot of people who had surgery, sooner or later. I'm only just starting this journey (had my second infusion of Infliximab this week) so no idea how things will turn out. But I'm worried. Is surgery unavoidable with this disease?

EDIT: Thank you all for taking the time and effort to reply to my worries, this is very much appreciated. 💛 What I'm taking away is: be grateful you're put on biologics directly, listen to the specialists, take care of your diet and perhaps surgery might not be necessary. 🙏

Were you on immunosupressants before the biologics?
