Question about "different from."

Hi! Just a quick question.

I know that we use "different from" to show a distinction between two things, but if we place a noun between "different" and from," does the meaning of the sentence change?

For example:

My opinion is different from his.

I have a different opinion from his.

Or.

His opinion is different from yours.


He has a different opinion from yours.


Do these sentences share a meaning?


Thanks!
