How is bone marrow stem cell donation done?
During bone marrow stem cell donation, a machine collects your blood stem cells through a process called apheresis. Blood is drawn from your arm and runs through a machine that filters out the blood stem cells. Then your blood is returned to your body through your opposite arm.
Apheresis takes four to six hours. You'll typically undergo two to four apheresis sessions, depending on how many blood stem cells are needed.

My bone marrow shit took 10 minutes, they stick a massive needle in your lower spine and draw out some marrow. it was like he was jamming a cork screw into the spine, had to get an local anesthetic first.
I always thought that them taking the needle out was worse than putting it in, putting it in is just a little prick, taking it out... kinda feels like what Neo did in the matrix, when he pulled the thing out of the back of his head while in the womb thing...
Edit: Oh, and drink water, a lot of water, more than an hour before you go. It will go faster that way.

And +1 on the water drinking, both before and after.
