Let me clarify the whole loosing 6-8 month's thing. Hera put Percy to sleep for 6 months then she had him wake at the Wolf House. Then he spent 2 month at the wolf house before Lupa sent him to Camp Jupiter. So you can say he lost 6 months of his life because that's how long he was asleep for. But you could also say he lost 8 months of his life because that's how long he was away from Camp Half-Blood, his family, friends, and Annabeth.
