Mine was about 5 years ago now. It wasn't quite painless, but it wasn't horrible at all; they said it'd feel like I slipped on the ice and bruised my butt, and that's exactly what I felt.
For my procedure, they put me under. From what I was told, they used a long needle and poked four small holes at my waistline on my back, and then through that, took small amounts of marrow from many points in my pelvic bone. It required no stitches to close up or anything, and then it was just a bit sore to sit down for a couple days, but nothing a bit of tylenol couldn't fix. I would gladly do it again.
