Can a Hiatal Hernia go away totally without surgery???

I was recently diagnosed with a "small" hiatal hernia.  I'm not sure what the description "small" means.  To me, a hernia is a hernia.  My question is this; since this is a small hernia, does that mean that it's possible it could disappear with the proper diet and care?  I've never had health problems and i've never lifted heavy objects or been a heavy smoker.
PLEASE ADVISE!!  THanks
