RELATIONSHIPS. DoDD 5106.01, April 20, 2012 7 Change 1, 08/19/2014. (1) Pursuant to section 3(a) of Reference (c), report to and be under the general supervision of the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense, but shall not report to, or be subject to supervision by, any other officer of the DoD.
To help prevent symptoms of a hiatal hernia 1  : Wear loose clothing. 2  Anything that presses on the stomach can aggravate hiatal hernia symptoms. 3  When your stomach is full, avoid bending over or lying down. 4  This increases abdominal pressure and makes heartburn more likely.
Sliding hiatal hernias may be treated surgically to place the stomach back into the abdominal cavity and to strengthen the gastroesophageal junction. However, surgery is not routinely done because most symptoms are due to GERD. Medications, diet, lifestyle changes, and weight loss may help control symptoms and minimize the need for surgery. Paraesophageal hernia repair is done to prevent the complication of strangulation or volvulus.
