This really depends on the particular case. Not often does a losing party have an automatic right to appeal. There needs to be a legal basis for an appeal like an alleged material error in the trial.

How do you appeal a decision made by the court of appeals for 'reverse and remand'?
If you mean the federal Court of Appeals, you file a petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States of America pursuant to the rules of the Supreme Court. A court of appeals decision to "reverse and remand" is no different than any other ruling that an appellate court may make; therefore it may be appealed immediately. In fact, virtually every case that is reversed is remanded to the lower court for further action consistent with the ruling of the appellate court. The only time a reversed case is not remanded is when the appellate court itself enters judgment for the other party. The fact that a case is remanded to the lower court does not mean that the parties must return to the lower court first. If you mean a state court of appeals, the same thing most likely holds true; however with 50 different states, each allowed to have its own appellate rules of appellate procedure, you should look to that particicular state court's rules of procedure.
Judgment affirmed what does this mean?
"Judgment affirmed" means that a higher court has reviewed a lower court's decision and agrees with it, thereby upholding the original decision. It typically indicates that the original ruling will remain in place.
What does it mean by the judgment of the court of appeals for eleventh circuit is reversed and the case is remanded for reinstatement of the judgment?
This means that the US Supreme Court overruled a decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which had earlier overruled a decision of the US District Court and vacated the District Court's judgment. The Supreme Court ruling is saying that the Appeals Court made a mistake when the Appeals Court said the District Court made a mistake. The Supreme Court is also agreeing that the original judgment given by the District Court is correct after all and it is telling the Appeals Court to reinstate the District Court's judgment.
What does it mean if an appellate court affirms a judgment?
"Affirmed" means the appeals court found no error or cause to reverse the decision of the lower court, and upheld the original decision. This means the decision of the lower court is final, unless the losing party petitions a higher court of appeal (if one exists). If the highest court capable of reviewing the case affirms the lower court decision, the decision is binding and the case legal complete (res judicata).When an appellate court 'affirms' the decision, they are agreeing with the lower court.As an example, let's say:Matt is arrested and charged with first degree murder. During the trial, it comes out that the police did not read Matt his Miranda Rights. If Matt is convicted of murder, he has the option to appeal to a higher court.Matt appeals over the fact that he was not read his rights after arrest. If the appellate court 'affirms' the previous court's decision, Matt's appeal was dismissed (or Matt lost).Matt would still be forced to serve the first degree murder sentence.
What does it mean to return to lower court?
Generally speaking if an appeals court or a supreme court, returns the trial transcripts back to the lower court from where it came from, it means that the lower court's decision was a sound. Thus whatever the lower court has done with regards to sentencing or other items, they remain intact. This frequently happens in many cases.

What does affirmed in part reversed in part and remanded mean?
This wording sounds like part of an appeals court decision. 'Affimed in part' - mean that the original decision/findings were found to be proper and correct. 'Reversed in part' - means that a portion of the decision/findings was found to legally insufficient. 'Remanded' - means that the case was returned to the originating court to review or reconsider its actions in the case and make it 'legally sufficient' to conform with the law.
