Santa,
You are right you can come back from excommunication... Those who are excommunicated lose their church membership and the right to partake of the sacrament. Notices of excommunication may be made public, especially in cases of apostasy, where members could be misled, but the specific reasons for individual excommunications are typically kept confidential and are seldom made public by LDS leadership.
Persons who have been excommunicated are usually allowed to attend church meetings but participation is limited. They cannot offer prayers for the congregation, give talks, etc., cannot enter LDS temples, or wear temple garments, or pay tithes. Excommunicated members may be re-baptized after a waiting period and sincere repentance, as judged by a series of interviews with church leaders
